Files app: Unable to copy multiple files from "Recent" folder

Project Member Reported by sdantul...@chromium.org, Mar 22 2018 
Google Chrome	66.0.3359.48 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
Revision	0
Platform	10452.22.0 (Official Build) dev-channel caroline

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open File Manager app
(2) Go to Recent folder
(3) Select a single file and press Ctrl+C
(4) Go to Downloads folder and press Ctrl+V. File is copied to Downloads folder successfully.
(5) Now go to Recent folder again, select multiple files and press Ctrl+C
(6) Go to Downloads folder and press Ctrl+V

What is the expected result?
Selected files should be copied and pasted in Downloads folder

What happens instead?
Files copied in step (5) are not pasted. Only previously copied file from step (3) is pasted again.

After first successful copy operation (single/multiple files) from Recent folder, select multiple files and right click to view context menu. Copy operation is seen disabled in context menu.

fukino@ - Is there a reason why we are restricting the ability to copy multiple files from Recents to Downloads folder?

If we choose multiple files in Recent, the selected files can be from multiple sources (e.g. Downloads, Drive, Android storage, etc...)
At this moment, we don't support copy operation for files from multiple sources.
It is technically possible, but needs some major modifications on file transferring code.

Thanks! Putting this in the backlog for now - I think if we more clearly indicate Recents as a read-only view vs. folder with a UI refresh, we should be able to close this as obsolete.
