I was wondering why the finder of System 5.0.x does not check space requirements
of the destination disk when copying files.  Also it does not check the current
state of the destination disk.  For example if copying a folder to a root of
an Appleshare volume which does not have write access.  I would at least think
a preflight of the destination volume for write rights would be easy?

I also wonder about the menubar and update of the current folders files?  Some-
times the destination folder is not updated, and can't copy the files since the
destination folder is not yet visible.  The Menubar seems to update one or two
of the folders/files, but not the complete directory.
