Created attachment 123803 [details] Copy progress is displayed as a floating window (desireable)
Additional note: I'm currently using the following rules in Sway to work around this: for_window [title="^(File|Folder)\s*Already Exists\s*—\s*" app_id="dolphin|org.kde.ark"] floating enable for_window [title="^(Copying|Moving)\s*—\s*Dolphin" app_id="dolphin"] floating enable for_window [title="^Extracting\s" app_id="(dolphin|org.kde.ark)"] floating enable for_window [title="^Information\s*—\s*Dolphin" app_id="dolphin"] floating enable for_window [title="^Loading archive" app_id="org.kde.ark"] floating enable This has undesired consequences if say a folder is called Copying - it makes the dolphin main window float if such a folder is entered, which is not acceptable.
Moving to KIO which is the library that provides those windows.
Thank you Elvis. It's probably worth noting that Ark does the same thing with it's extract windows and I'm guessing that it too uses KIO for this functionality.
