According to the change history, the Finder was not changed.
What do you mean?  Clearly, if the disk is full, the copy could NOT be
performed-- so removing the target is just fine.

Notice that the Beta has a higher version number than the 6.0.7 release?
Set Aside isn't gone, it was never there.  I use 6.1b9 with 6.0.7.
