Is there some way to manage a background transfer queue for dired?
Maybe its easier to understand what I mean if I explain how I would
like it to work:
- I mark a number of large files to be moved to another disk, which
takes time.
- dired puts the moves on a queue, and makes a "progress buffer"
showing how far each move or copy has progressed. (this would look
something like wget.el:s progress buffer)
- each move or copy is done in the background with cp or mv shell
commands, so emacs is not locked
- Im now free to add more moves or copys to the queue by direding some
other directory
Ideally the same interface would be used for remote operations, with
tramp or something.
Sounds doable. Has it been done?
