Is there anyway a developer can do this? It doesnt sound very hard as you developers say that background codes are already in use. Please somebody help me with this....

Have you read any of the replies from the developers? They have said its not a big priority for them. They have also stated that if you want it you can add it. Continually bumping this thread with the same question isnt going to help you.

Simply it's a really good idea.
Backgroud threads for low priority works is a fantastic idea that can save much time to anyone.
Congratulations.

You might want to look at (or at lest read up on) OpenMP as well in regards to threading http://www.openmp.org
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Would this solve the pauses related to visualizations switching & music playback?

no.

first of all, openmp is certainly not supported on the xbox. and openmp is used to split one task over several cores/cpu's, it wouldnt do any good here.

It would be great if I can continue using the File Manager when I'm transferring files. It sucks just sitting there waiting for multiple files to transfer, and not being able to go about XBMC.

Also, it would be nice if there was a transfer queue. Meaning, I can add files to be transferred to one folder, browse some more, then add some more files to be transferred to other folders, etc... Then say 'transfer files from queue', and it would transfer all the files I selected to their respective destinations.

Thanks!

I'm thinking people lost interest in this project... oh well, it would have been a great feature.
