grrrr - ok, OS X Finder pisses me off sometimes. I didn’t give much credence to people who whined about missing functionality from 9, but there are some very legitimate gripes here.

WHY can’t it (for chrissake) calculate the size of what it’s copying BEFORE it starts actually copying something to disk? Why does it even let me start copying more files than will fit on a CD? It knows how big the volume is. It knows how big the files i’m copying are. The OS 9 Finder did this beautifully, and i really miss this. It’s not just CDs either, i’m sure it’s this dumb about all disks.

And another thing - why can’t i make multiple copies of something without copying the source files to each new volume? Sure, i could make a disk image, but why can’t it be an option in the burn disk window?

In the Finder, in list view, why does the window jump to the left when i want to rename a file? There’s no reason for it.
