option to disable queuing and pausing #1834

Description

I request that an option be added, such as through dconf editor, to disable the queuing and pausing functionality. When I'm dragging and dropping a lot of files and folders at once, such as when setting up a new system, I find the functionality to be burdensome. In the past, these operations would be done in parallel, which means small copies/moves would be completed virtually immediately, with quick feedback confirming you've accomplished a particular drag task. With the new default (and currently unconfigurable) behavior, a small operation that would take less than a second gets trapped behind large operations that may take minutes or hours. This makes it more challenging to quickly determine what actions have already been initiated by the user, and also means the user can't immediately begin other operations on the dragged files (such as adjusting a line in a config file) in the new location as the operation is by default put on hold. The user should not be forced to have to manually re-arrange every drag and drop they complete just to achieve real-time drag and drop between locations. Please offer a way to disable this feature.
