Hi,

Is there a way to initiate multiple file operations? My issue is mainly copying or moving folders. Right now using the built-in file manager I can only do one at a time. If I try to initiate another while there is an operation in progress I get the "Job Running" message when trying to select a folder.

 

Sometimes I need to copy files/folders from external drives to different shared folders in the array, but I can only do one at a time. I need to check back every few minutes to see if the operation has completed so I can initiate another.

 

Are there other ways, maybe an app I can install to do these operations?

 

TIA

You can install tmux manager plugin and use mc (midnight commander) in the terminal or you can use the unbalanced plugin or you can use Krusader docker container

 

note: if you do not use tmux and you’re running an operation in terminal, if you close the terminal window the process is killed. Tmux allows it to run essentially in the background even if you close the terminal window.

Thanks. I'll check all these options.
