Description

In comparison with the streamlined UX all over elementary OS apps, it feels weird to have a floating window separated from Files main window while copying some files (specilly for long copies, where you have this small window bothering or covering part of other apps a for long time). Also, this affects the blue-dot indicator in Plank.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have an integrated progressing-bar in the left panel from Files' main window? That way you can track the copy progress from Files itself, while performing other tasks without the need of window switching.
