Description

After copying multiple files, source files are still selected with no indication about success or failure of copy operation. At least files that were copied should be deselected. Having a non-blocking notification about success would be great. E.g. Total Commander makes a "beep" sound after long operations.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the multi-file copy flow and its selection handling, then determine how completed and failed copies are reported; done means copied source files are deselected and the operation provides a non-blocking success indication.
