My 2 cents as an end user:
The notification says
"Copying (Finished)
y of x files to /path/to/destination"

What means "x" here? The amount of files which the user wants to copy to
destination? As an end user, I think so. But I could be mistaken.

I suppose that "y of x" indicates the proportion between the amount of files
that the user wants to copy and the one effectively copied to destination.
However, in my screen recording the notification confusely says

"Copying (Finished)
4 of 4 files to /path/to/destination"

despite 0 file have been copied to destination. 4 of 4 files were skipped, not
copied. :)

A notification saying "Copying (Finished) 0 of 4 files to..." would be coherent
in my screen recording, because I have dragged-n-dropped 4 files and 0 was
copied to destination.

If 1 file was copied, the notification should say "Copying (Finished) 1 of 4
file to..."

Personally I consider these file operations notifications annoying and
sometimes confusing,
that's why I opened bug 425355 a few minutes ago.
