Description
### What's the Problem?
If you close the files window during a large file transfer, then it's impossible to see the progress if even if you reopen it.
### Solution/Idea
Add an option to show the default windows file transfer popup, instead of adding it to the queue window in the top right.
### Alternatives
Another solution would also be to make file transfer queues global between all files windows, instead of each window having their own queue.

Research direction
Start by locating the file-transfer queue and Files window code, then trace what happens when a window closes during a large transfer. Compare the existing queue-window progress behavior with the Windows file transfer popup and clarify whether the change is an option or a global queue; done means transfer progress remains visible after closing the Files window.
