Inconsistent Action progress UI when operating on multiply selected items

[mneuwert]

Expected behaviour

Would be nice to have same HUD type of dialog showing progress of actions performed on multiple items with a message like "Downloading x of y files" or "Duplicating x of y files" + progress bar. Plus may be name of the current file could be also shown.

Actual behaviour

Basically, right now different actions may show different UI when performing operations like "Duplicate", "Open In" on multiple selected items. E.g. "Open in" brings up an HUD when downloading items not available locally, while "Duplicate" repeatedly shows and hides bottom bar for each file.

Client

@mneuwert Thanks for your feedback. Could you add screenshots to illustrate the issue?

@michaelstingl Ok, I checked it again and I still see that there is room for improvement. For example in the below video:

• I can select many items and duplicate them and there is no way to cancel this operation if I have changed my mind. Also while duplicate action is running I can view files, spawn other actions etc. Also in the bottom there is wild jumping of the status bar with interchangeably showing different texts: "Copying x files", then "Copying to ".

• In contrast, if I use "Open In", there is small HUD appearing at the bottom, showing progress of and how many files are going to be downloaded. And I can even cancel download activity.

I think it would better UX if any long running operation could be cancelled and if there would be a UI showing the progress plus some text like "Duplicating X of Y files" or "Moving X of Y files" and so on.
