Pet Peeve in Finder

Why is it when I go to copy a 270+GB folder of stuff from one drive to another and the finder runs across a bad sector half way thru it just throws up it’s hands and quits? Why can’t there be an option that says “if unable to copy a file, note it and move on”?

I mean really, how hard would it be to just go ahead and copy all that you can, then throw up a dialog that says “These particular files didn’t get copied, and here’s why…”?

Oh, that’s right, it’s just easier to stop on errors rather than gracefully recover.

Ugh. Oh well, one for the wish list in Leopard.

And yes, Windows behaves this way too.
