FSCopyObjectAsync: useless and crippled

I created code that uses these new copy routines (FSCopyObjectAsync), and they work, but they seem to be over simplified and crippled.


For example, If I'm trying to copy a file that I don't have read permission for, The API needs to ask the user for the Admin password, or at least give my app the opportunity to handle this case. Currently, I only see two modes. Fail on any error, or just skip any files that are not copyable. These two modes are completely useless for a real world app.

At last years WWDC they said these were the same routines used by the Finder. That doesn't seem possible unless I'm missing something. There's no documentation yet.

Can we get the "real" file copy APIs the Finder uses?  This is bull$hit.

Thanks,

-steve
