Unable to select and move multiple files.

As shown in the GIF, when selecting hundreds or even thousands of files in Everything and moving them to another folder, XYplorer shows an error saying it cannot move them and prompts: "Use Custom Copy to copy more than one overlong item at a time."

Then I tried searching for the images within XYPlorer, cutting them, and moving them, but it still didn’t work.

Now there's a new issue. It only supports one-time cut and paste, and only one window pops up. During the pasting process, if I try to cut and paste again, there's no response—no window pops up. Does this mean I have to wait until the current window finishes pasting before I can perform the next operation?

I hope to be able to pop up multiple progress windows for cut and paste, just like in Windows 10.
