Description (last modified by Nicolas) (diff)

While a file operation is in progress, a little dialog box appears to show the progress. Unfortunately, this box blocks the entire UI, so you are forced to wait until that operation is finished before you can do something else. This is especially cumbersome when copying or moving large amounts of data.

It would be great if it was possible to continue using the main window(s) or even launch other file operations simultaneously.

+1, apparently no voting system here...

this looks to be quite convenient feature

At least why copy should not block all instance windows with one activity dialog: that was bug 90 (no modality for the copy/pack dialogs)

All in all - app's looking great, keep it rolling.

It has been suggested that we take inspiration from SuperCopier. Might be worth a look.
