Moving folders · Data Parking (the two-pane mover)

What do Queued, Copying, Checking and Waiting for the drive mean in Data Parking?

Short answer: They're the stages of a move shown on each row: Queued (waiting its turn), Copying, Checking (verifying before the original is removed), Waiting for the drive (resumes on reconnect) and Failed (with a reason — the original is untouched).

They're the stages each moving item goes through, shown right on its row in the source pane:

  • Queued — waiting for a free transfer slot.
  • Copying — the data is being copied to the destination.
  • Checking — the copy is being checked before the original is removed.
  • Waiting for the drive — the destination drive went away; the move resumes when it's reconnected.
  • Failed — with a short reason; your original is untouched.

A brief green check appears when an item finishes, then the row clears.
