 From the point of view of usability, shouldn't just the user try to 
copy and the computer inform him/her there is not enough space in the 
target ?  I mean, computers are here to help us,  not adding more work.  
Instead of trying to make for easier for the user to verify the 
available space, shouldn't the interface remove that responsability from 
the user altogether?  (this is not saying that easier ways to see 
available space are not welcome, but just aimed to a different purpose)

Regards,

Daniel
