Feature: Show source in the completion message for file transfer operations

[scotscoder]

Description

After a file transfer is complete, the dropdown from the Status Centre icon only shows that files have been moved. It does not show the name of the file or folder that was transferred, which makes it very difficult to identify which operations have completed if many are occurring at once.

Requirements

After copying items, the status center should display the source location in its completion message.

Thanks for the feedback, the Status center has never shown names of file and folders transferred

Thanks for adding it as a feature request. I think it's important to know what has been transferred and to where.

Where in the UI would you suggest listing the names of the transferred items?

For 1 or two files, you can see why showing a name is useful, but 3076 files copied, would quickly become a nightmare.

Generating a text file with a list of filenames and paths could be do-able, but then we would need to find space for a button to generate and open that txt file.

Where would it be stored?

It's not a simple thing to add, and would need lots of thought put into it.

Simply put, show the source and destination folders (1,642 files copied from c:\Users\Blah\Documents to D:\Backups, for example). That's all it needs and even the folder names could just be the last portion of the path. The source folder is the important thing here. In cases where it is a single file then show the file name. More than one file, then use the first example.

The information should be shown in the Status Centre drop-down which currently just shows that X files were copied

You're overthinking it. I mentioned above my thoughts on an efficient way to show the information.

I've updated the description and title to better reflect the requested improvement.
