Feature description

As https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery/issues/22#issuecomment-1953518301 somewhat explains, duplication, moving, and deletion functions do not provide progress reporting in their dialogs.

Why do you want this feature?

To be able to not solely ascertain the progress of an action, but more importantly, whether it has stalled. This is especially important when working on network storage via the File Manager or deleting external resources via the Calendar, but also affects Messages too when enough IO requests are in the SIM card buffer.

Ah, I see this is a more general issue. I reported this specifically in regards to importing contacts:
