Bug Description
This one will require quite a bit of work.
There are currently many programs that implement a file transfer mechanism. Nautilus (as the file manager of GNOME), Epiphany, gftp, and so on.
Each one of them implements the file transfer in a different way. Nautilus creates a new dialog for every batch of files, Epiphany puts all dialogs into one dialog, there are other programs which have non-asynchronous filetransfer, thus blocking the whole process.
What I'd like to see is all these programs using the same file transfer service. For example, if I download a file in epiphany, I see the same dialog/window as if I move a file in Nautilus. This would improve the consistency of the whole desktop.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gnome-desktop'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a specification for this.
You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs page (https:/
