E.g. the list would have fields like "message" and "file", and would allow the user to easily see all that went wrong and what files were involved. He could then select multiple entries and perform the same action on them, if applicable. E.g. if the message was "destination already exists, replace or skip?" he could select some of the entries and perform "ignore", but perform "replace" on others. The copying could continue in the background, and the replacements would be performed only once the user confirms then.

But you can get multiple kinds of warnings during the operation. How would you separate them? You would either have to have a separate dialog for each kind of error or a very complex UI dialog. In general I like the idea of a box "These files failed to copy" (similar to the Delete Files dialog), but I think that simple 'OK' would be enough. Ideas?
