Files should not display a dock badge (HIG violation)

Bug Description

Files now displays the number of distinct file operations in progress in a dock badge. This is a bad idea because dock badges should show only the number of items that need attention from the user, as per elementary HIG: http://elementaryos.org/docs/human-interface-guidelines/desktop-integration/dock-integration

Please remove the code for displaying the dock badge from Files.

I'll throw my +1 to the report. It seems kind of an odd usage of the dock badge. I think the badge would imply that you have items you need to give your attention, but there's nothing you can really do about a file transfer except cancel it.

I'm sorry for rushing in fixing this bug, but I think the same about this issue for some time now.
I don't really know why I didn't report this myself.
