--- Comment #2 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
I strongly agree. The feedback we currently have is too subtle. We have some
feedback for this in the status bar. However, that information has become buggy
and is sometimes shown to shortly or not at all.

I see two approaches to fixing the lack of clear feedback:
- Fix/Improve the status bar: Currently the status bar isn't very smart about
which information to show. There might be two important messages coming in at
the same time in which case only one of them will be displayed. Instead it
should queue those messages and give each of them time to be displayed.
- Have some additional feedback/animation e.g. when files are deleted: Pretty
much every user has the trash/wastebin folder visible in the places panel on
the left. There are various ways with which we could symbolise when and how
many items have been deleted. 1. The trash could pulsate once for every item
moved to it. 2. the items could visually fly into the trash in the sidebar. 3.
the text of the trash could change for a moment to say "3 items added".

There are most likely even more sensible solutions than that.
