Description

There is currently no visual feedback for when the user copies or cuts a file. In Windows Explorer, cut file(s) are made slightly transparent. It would be nice to have this in fman too.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the copy and cut actions in the fman codebase and finding where file items are rendered; compare how the two clipboard states are represented. Done means copied or cut files receive clear visual feedback, with cut files appearing slightly transparent as described, without changing unrelated file display.
