1. open dolphin
2. make file transfer
3. open 2nd dolphin instance (e.g. by middle click)

That's not possible with the current infrastructure, sorry. The API we use works on a per-application basis. We'll eventually address this with KFileMetadata but that's not something that will happen in the near future, sorry.

Understood - you can't distinguish between 2 dolphin instances, but in my example, also Kaffeine, Kontact, etc. got the same progress indicator.
