Known Issues

- Error handling is very limited in beta versions, what causes runtime errors rather than unwanted behaviour.
- Files bigger than 2 GB can't be streamed. Use "system copy" for these files.
- Using Drag & Drop with overloaded folders (source is a subfolder of the target or reversed) may cause runtime errors.
