It would be great if you could pause a job, reboot and continue it later (session management

This might not be the uiserver's responsibility, but when copying a lot of files, is it possible to FIRST ask for confirmations for all to-be-copied files (do you really want to overwrite etc.) and THEN start copying? That way, I can leave the computer and be sure its done when I come back!

The copying-two-files-at-the-same-time-becomes-too-slow-problem is even worse when you're reading them from a cd/dvd!

Great Idee, one of the things that most irritate me, having a directory moved under windows and for every thumb.db, it starts to ask again, if I'm sure... I know it is windows... But watching this progress for KDE 4 makes me feel better every time....

Better yet, it would be great if the system popped up a conflict resolution window where you could check which files you want to overwrite and which you don't want to overwrite. Then it would be very simple to select all, and perhaps uncheck a couple.

I really like that idea. Perhaps a two-pane view

file1.jpg 2/1/07 102K <-> file1.jpg 12/27/06 99K
document.ods 2/1/07 73K <-> document.ods 12/29/06 99K

where if you hover over the filerow you get a thumbnail comparison of those documents. With option to view details (which opens up in appropriate app).
