I need to copy a whole bunch of files from various directories onto an external drive.

I thought Krusader might be the best tool for this job.

As I select and copy different files, a new queue keeps being opened. On Mechanical drives this is not ideal as it causes the hard drive heads to thrash.

How do I get a single queue in Krusader?

When you copy, move, pack or unpack files with Krusader, the confirmation dialog will show a button labeled "F2 Queue". Press the button or F2 to add the current job to the queue manager.

A quick way to copy files with the queue manager is pressing F5 then F2. To move files, F6 then F2.
