Description
Moving around large amount of data from external HDDs or network shares takes some time.
Would be a great enhancement to be able to queue up the copy/move operations, so they don't happen at the same time (causing disk fragmentation and slowing down the actual transfer progress).
In Total Commander this is solved by pressing "F2" at the Copy/Move dialogue, which puts the operation into the queue, where the user can modify the order or remove operations before they have finished.
In ForkLift (OSX file manager), the transfer queue is the default behavior: "manage copy operations with global conflict management and file reordering"

Done means queued operations run without overlapping, can be reordered or removed, and preserve the requested transfer behavior.
