Description Yann 2009-11-27 17:21:36 UTC 
in Nautilus 2.28.1 (Karmic) there is one button in the file copy window, but its behaviour is strange:
it Cancels the copy, closes the copy window, but leaves the partially-copied files on the disk. So currently it is not convenient at all : if you wanted to cancel you have to manually find&delete the partial files; if you wanted to pause/restart you have to find&select the files again and to copy them again in the same folder.
If you were copying many files it becomes a headhache in all cases !

So I propose:
- one button to Cancel : the partial files are deleted and the window closes.
- one button to Pause/restart : when pausing, the button changes into "restart", but as the window does not close you still have the choice between Restart and Cancel.
