Let's say you are copying a folder with 15 files from one location to another. Then for whatever reason, you stop the copy operation when Path Finder is in the middle of copying the 12th file. In v5, the 11 files that have completed copying would remain in the new location. But in v6, all the files disappear in the new location whenever you stop a copy operation in progress.
Why was this change made? It doesn't make any sense.

Thanks for trying to help. However, the issue I am experiencing has nothing to do with the file operations window redesign. In my example, I am copying a SINGLE folder with multiple files in it (i.e., it is a SINGLE file operation), so there is no queuing of any kind going on.
For some reason, the developer has fundamentally changed how copying files works in practically every normal file browser (like v5): when you cancel a large ongoing copy operation before it has completed, the file browser should leave those files that were completely copied in the new location, not erase them.
I really would like to know the logic behind why this kind of change was implemented.

if you copy a folder with simple files inside and cancel it even after 50% completion, it won't copy anything.
if you copy a folder with packages (apps) inside, you might get orphans (app with the cross sign over its icon), if cancelled.
if you get inside a folder, select a bunch of simple files and copy them, it will leave the already finished ones, if cancelled.
if you get inside a folder, select a bunch of packages (apps) and copy them, you might get orphans, if cancelled.

Nowhere near a finder replacement for me.
Found it really useful for the dual panel and tabs, no doubt.
But now the v6 is released, even with a $15 update, I don't see enough reasons to upgrade at this price reading the 4 (and only?) new features described above.
Will give a try at this new version but will probably stick with v5 as it still supports contextual menus and it's all working real fine.

That's still not everything, but it's what you're likely to notice.

I do not like some of the "new" interface changes, especially the label colors and inability to add a background pic to views, but everything else is like you would expect from Cocoatech.
And I do love the ability to add metatags.
So... My apologies for flying off the handle earlier. I'll go and eat some crow for lunch!

The ability to add to metatagging of files is a nice addition, but not nice enough for me to purchase this upgrade right now. I've reverted to version 5, thanks to Time Machine and am back to being happy.
I do hope the great folks at Cocoatech are listening. PF has been one of my top most used apps, but version 6 is just embarassing.

I'll keep trying this, and will revisit my rating later [this is what I get for staying up too long and not getting my rest! I get cranky...]

You should simply wait with your update to 6.0 for a couple more months until you feel better with the timing...

And BTW I had assumed the upgrade fee from V4 to V6 was also $20. My bad...

BTW it also seems to still be offering the early bird discount upgrade offer of $15, so grab it while it's still there if you're thinking of upgrading.

How is the support behaviour history of CocoaTech for older Systems?
Are older Versions still supported after a new release?
PS: I post here, because Support did not reply my eMail for some days...
