Linux Mint 18.2, MATE.

For example, I am copying some files from one place to another. It is quite hard to notice errors or see how many files left while a window of this file operation is minimized.

In Windows data copying process displays in a minimized window in the panel by means of a green strip, or a minimized window changes its color because of some error.

Is there a way to do something similar in Linux?

Sorry for my English.
