Hi GNOME i18n team,

This Nautilus bug [1] has a patch attached that changes some file
operations progress strings from this format:

  Moving/Copying/... 1 file (in "foo") to "bar"
  Moving/Copying/... XX files (in "foo") to "bar"

(where the number represents the files left in the operation) to this
format:

  Moving/Copying/... file X of XX (in "foo") to "bar"

(where the first number is the current file being processed and the
second one is the total number of files processed in the operation).

The original strings use ngettext() on the number of files left; a
comment in the bug report suggested ngettext() should be used also with
the new strings, though it's not clear to me on which parameter the
singular/plural condition would apply (as the subject of the string is
always "File X", which is singular).

Comments appreciated, either as a reply to this mail or directly in the
bug report. Please CC me directly if you reply to this mail, as I am not
subscribed to receive gnome-i18n mails.
