Copying Files from iPhone App via Finder Only Displays Progress Bar When Copying the First File

I have noticed this issue for quite a long time; it is not fatal but just annoying.


If you are copying multiple files from your iPhone App via Finder / <My iPhone> / Files tab, the progress bar at the bottom will only display when the first file is being copied; Once it arrives at the second file, there is no indication that the copying is still in progress; You may only notice that at your destination folder, where the last one is still greyed and at the smaller size than it should be, and / or the total number of files appeared at destination is smaller than it should be.


Also not a case as the screenshot below though, there is no way to copy selected files only if they are in a folder. e.g. if there is any file in the wpkdata folder below, I can only copy the folder itself out with every file inside, instead of selecting one or a few only.



It would be great if this minor UX issue can be resolved.
