File copy cancel does not work

Bug description

When I do a copy of multiple files, specifically this seems to occur between mounted drives but it might work intra-drive as well, sometimes I mistakenly put in a large directory.

I of course see what's happening and immediately hit the cancel button.

The large directory copy does not cancel. It continues onward. And of course since nemo only does one file copy operation at a time, it blocks all other movement.

In addition, once you cancel the file progress, THERE'S NO WAY TO VIEW THE PROGRESS WINDOW AGAIN. No menu option in View or anything. If I reboot scary messages about the pending operations appear. And there's lots of complaints about how slow it is.

1. please have cancel button actually cancel in-progress copies or even moves, just like if I CTRL-C'd a mv or cp.

2. please give a way to view pending operations and progress of current operations if the progress window has been closed. Queuing additional copy operations does not bring the progress window back up in my experience.

Steps to reproduce

I guess grab a pretty big directory (say multi-gigabyte, lots of files) and start a copy

cancel the copy

progress window disappears, but clearly you can see subdirectories of the big folder still being created.

Expected behavior

If I cancel a big directory copy or move: stop it. I guess an undo in the case of move that re-moves the already moved files would be nice, but I think users are sophisticated enough that they'd understand the risk of partial moves in this instance like a CTRL-C'd mv from the CLI

Provide a way to bring up the current queue of operations and indicate if the cancelled operation is still going.

Thank you for your efforts, programmers. I know file managers are hard.
