File Manager doesn't display WHAT file is being copied/moved!?!?!?!

Just says Copying XXX items - From (PARENT directory) to (PARENT directory) <-
notice I capitalized PARENT, because that's what it displays. I.e. I copy a
folder from c:\downloads\mp3s to f:\
All it tells me is that it is copying From c:\downloads to f:\ - doesn't ever
list the actual folder that is being copied. What a POS!

I get your point on one level but why does it matter? As long as what you're
copying gets copied why do you need to see which file is being copied at any
given moment?

I'd much rather see the 'Calculating Time ....' removed from the copy
dialogue.

Because if I'm copying multiple files, I'd like to know what the individual
file stats are. I may want to cancel one - and I can't tell which one to
cancel!!
