Research direction
The affected strings are listed in nemo.pot around line 4473; start there and follow the popup's message source for the copy-operation wait dialog. Reproduce with two large folder copies, then verify the dialog distinguishes a single file, a folder, and multiple files using the expected wording.

Bug description
When a user queries up several copy operations, a pop up dialog window appears telling the user that nemo is waiting for other operations to finish. In the pop up dialog text, nemo does not differentiate whether it's doing the operation on a file, folder or multiple files.
Where the messages come from:
https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/blob/1337cf0cc6e55acf3909a5b32d42e16d77a5763b/nemo.pot#L4473
Steps to reproduce
- Copy a folder with lots of contents to something like an external drive
- Copy a different folder with lots of contents to the same drive
Expected behavior
The pop up dialog menu should show the text "Waiting to copy a folder from ..." or "Waiting to copy multiple files from ..."
