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.

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?

User can click "OK" which closes the dialog, and if more files fail, another one pops up. Small problem though: what happens if the user clicks OK, without noticing that another file was added to the list just before he closed the dialog? Maybe a safeguard should be added that no less than N seconds may pass from the time the last file was added to when the user clicks OK.

Aggregating errors is part of Cyril Oblikov's SOC project already. I just asked him to aggregate warnings in that dialog too.

This is a longer-term fix though.
