    Description

      Hi,

      If you dont find this useful just ignore it,

      but in my scenario, sometimes il add a 2TB+ transfer task on my main machine which goes to a network server, even over gigabit this takes a while.

      Any task i ad after that (that have nothing to do with it) even smaller ones will be paused and will wait until the big one finishes.

      because i like the 1 task at a time 99% of the time, would be cool if there was a button of a flag that you could apply to a specific task or all of them which makes the queue ignore that the task is already running and will keep going through the queue, or will process a new task when added before the first one finishes.

      So it will have to basically not count that as a running task, so it doesnt delay the queue being processed.

            I think there are such possibilities available already:
            1. You can "Resume" the queued task and that will run it regardless of the queueing setting.
            2. There is an option in settings (Limit maximum operations running simultaneously...) that lets you adjust count of tasks that can be run at the same time.

            Is it what you wanted here?

            effectively yes, but i want some faster way than changing the amount of simultaneous tasks or to not count a specific task as running

            i need to be able to run that big task half way down the queue without stopping the queue from being processed

            problem is, if i start it manually, either it will hold up the queue as it is counted as a running task (set to 1 max) or if i set it to 2 tasks, once that priority task finishes the queue will start processing 2 at a time, doing the last task (move) and the second last (copy) at the same time causing a conflict

            one way other programs handle this is by having queues, all tasks go to a main queue to be processed then the one task of your choice goes to a second queue to be processed without affecting main queue.

            Basically if there is a task that is huge and will take a few days i cant use copy handler because i need it to conform to the 1 task at a time, but it will not process without the big task finishing, if i change to two running at a time and im not there when the big one finishes it will completely wreck the queue and fail
