copy/paste/rename/etc disabled while copying files?
While copying files between panes doe xplorer2 disable keyboard shortcuts? I'm copying a large file right now (ghost image) and I cannot use F2 to rename a text file, ctrl-c doesn't copy to clipboard, etc, but if I right click and choose rename or copy or paste they work just fine, is this behavior by design? If so is there a way to turn it off? I work heavily within explorer/xplorer2 and often times need to continue renaming files and/or copy/pasting while another copy/paste is in progress. I know this may be specific to a few people but I would like to see this at least as an option to turn on or off.

with the current program design, all shortcuts are disabled during copying
in the future i may throw the copying in a background thread to release the main window. Or i could devise some hooking mechanizm to get shortcuts working
the easiest workaround is to clone a new window and do the copy there while still working in the original

yay for nikos, now when I'm copying 2GB+ ghost/powerquest images I can still browse around and do my copy/pasting/renaming with shortcuts instead of the menus/cloning (which I'd forget to clone until I had already started the copy)
