I have observed errors in how OSX both displays and reports files since it first came out.
I had hoped these bugs had been fixed but since recently upgrading to Panther 10.3.9 I was hit by glaring errors again.
1. When moving a folder from its location to the next folder up via the sidebar it disappeared and remained invisible until I closed all my windows and fiddled about about before opening back up to the location again.
2. On attempting to move a "104.3mb" & "212.5mb" folder onto a 500MB flash drive I was repeatedly told there was not enough room on the drive. At first I thought the trash had not been cleared properly and did that 3 times, still the same result. The flash drive reported 495mb available and it still wouldn't copy. Eventually I gave up and moved just the "104.3mb" folder which began to copy and the transfer reported it now was 341.8mb which on adding up its contents seemed to be accurate. The window still reported the wrong figure.
3. The lack of any sign of progress or completion in smaller transfers plus the above problems can lead to file loss when you trash a file thinking it actually has copied to another volume but hasn't. You can also trash a folder containing a file you temporarily can't see.
Tres mal!
Anyone else experienced this?
