I created code that uses these new copy routines

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.
What, you've never seen Finder fail in the middle of a large multi-
file copy and trash all of the files that did complete successfully?
You must be using a different Finder than me :)
