Description ville.ranki 2012-07-25 10:41:49 UTC 
Scenario:

Today i was copying music from network share, local pc and a usb mounted cell phone to a SD card, and also some files from phone to network share. The file operations take some time so the file operations window is being displayed. 

After a while i needed to leave and take the phone with me. I noticed that i had 5 file operations going on, but there is no way to see if any of them is from or to the phone. I had to wait until all operations completed and then leave.

Solution:

Add a button, tooltip, or some other way to get more info about ongoing file transfers. Even "Copying foo.bar from SD Card to Home directory" would be enough.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2021-06-18 15:15:47 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
