But if the 3% is not at start, so it might not show in the minimized window.

So we could have something like:

"3%; Copy; 3.6 GB"

but that makes it even more synthetic and not natural as the current title.

That is the part that I do not really understand. Why it seems so important 
for you to know if it is a move or a copy? The window title means more:
"There is a file operation under way. 3% of 3.6 GB is already done".

(Good, for me, I mostly see that window while downloading from the Internet, 
so the "move" case is excluded anyway. And when a program saves and renames 
the file and its backup, it is also not really important to know that it is a 
"move".)

Also if I remember well, this window title was changed for usability to the 
current way, so there is probably a mailing list thread somewhere with the 
reasons.

Have a nice day!
