I don't think this is right. Its not obvious to the user why there is
suddenly no skip button, because you might not realize its the last file
in the operation. So, I think we should have skip even if its the last
file. 

However, we should not display "Skip" if we're only copying/moving one
file.

For the other change I'm somewhat uncertain. Someone took extra time to
figure out exactly in what case not to display the Retry case. I'm not
sure why this was done. Maybe there is an technical reason why retry
doesn't work in these cases? Can anyone think of the reason this was
done? (The code was written by Pavel Cisler.)
