Well that's only adding one more method. For languages where only is
important 1 thing, or more than one thing (singular and plural), is
easy, since when it is just 1 item, the kuiserver won't show (0 of 1
contact -> 1 of 1 contact), it will just avoid that useless
information.

So the kuiserver will only show when there are more than 1 thing (say
file, contact, ...) to process (copy, move, ...). Now the problem
comes with languages that will also distinguish between some kind of
plurals (I mean, for 2 items, or 3).

I read the localization system can handle this, but I only need to
read a bit about it.

I really agree with the idea of getting out observer and "port" it to
the kjobuidelegate in kdeui, or jobuidelegate.

So Kevin, are you moving kjobuidelegate to kdeui ? When ? In that
case, the observer should be "ported" for sure to the kjobuidelegate
in kdeui instead to the jobuidelegate class ?

I can do the observer "porting" I think, if you guys agree.

Bye and thanks,
