Seeing what was proposed by several people, adn trying to fix what looked wrong to me, I arrived to the following proposal: "Files which are in the clipboard, are shown with a clipboard emblem in nautilus". [Mockup attached, right after ctrl-c] The advantages of this are: * You are seeing the files you select, so the feedback is right there * It has no distracting animations, with obscure meanings * It uses the more or less recognized clipboard icon, so the information is quite obvious even for the newbie. * It does not require paying attention to the screen while copying, because the feedback is persistent (a lot of people use the keyboard looking at it instead of to the screen). * You can check easily which files you copied (even closing the folder where you selected, opening it again, and the emblems should be there) * You can put screenshots of the feature in the gnome release notes ;-) * It is technically easy (Nautilus already uses emblems to indicate other file status) What do you think of this from an usability standpoint? if nobody shows that it is actually a braindead idea, I'll be happy to add a nautilus feature request Regards, D.
