Describe the bug

I was copying a bunch of files from one directory to another, and I didn't realise that two of the files I was copying were actually symlinks to the directory I was copying them to. So I got this message popup:

Ok, no worries, except that it doesn't tell me what file(s) it's referring to. I had to manually check the source and destination files to see what was different before I realised what the issue was.

A simple addition of the filename in question to this dialog would be a good idea.
