Bug Description

When I copy a directory from one disk to another, Nautilus won't show its name next to the progress bar. It simply says "Copying N files to diskName".

I think it should say something like: "Copying N files in directoryName to diskName".

Reason:

When you copy 2 big directories with a lot of files to the same destination and want to know which one is which, you can't differentiate between them since the directory name is not shown. If you want to cancel one of them, you also don't know which X button to click.

See my attached screenshot.
