Bug Description

The file move dialog always displays "Moving n files", where n is the number of files which haven't been moved yet. So this number keeps decreasing as the transfer progresses. For example in a transfer involving 100 files, the number changes 100-99-98...

Shouldn't n be the total number of files to be moved in the transfer? (This would make it similar to almost every other file manager.) Another option would be "Moving file no. x of n files"
