[BUG] Empty directory is created in target partition...

[icfu]

...when trying to copy a directory that is too large to fit on target partition and aborting the operation with pressing "No".

Obviously TC creates the directory before checking available space.

bad design... agree

tc should clean up this garbage

TC checks available space _per file_, not for the entire operation...

One could call this a bug.
One could also call this a sloppy action by the user in the first place, by not checking first.
A hit on the spacebar on the dir is sufficient to avoid this.

I thought that CountMarked setting is used for calculating the second progress bar BEFORE the copy process has been started, is that wrong? If it is you should correct the help file and the configuration dialog as it is misleading:

Calculate space occupied by subdirectories

If it is right, the warning should be presented directly, not after the first file is encountered that eats up the last free space.

A hit on the spacebar on the dir is sufficient to avoid this.

It's not sufficient because spacebar counts absolute size, not real size which depends on file system, cluster size, compression, etc...
Besides that pressing SPACE on directories despite TC counting sizes ANYWAY with CountMarked=1 is just an annoying workaround that wastes time.

This is correct, but mainly done for the progress bar! Some users may want to copy as many files as possible to one USB stick, and the rest to a second stick, so such a warning would only be annoying...

[icfu]

Makes sense, but still the creation of empty directories is annoying, also for USB stick users...
With two USB sticks you get redundant content then, one that contains an empty directory structure and one that contains the same directory filled with content.

If it's not possible to prevent creation of empty directories, maybe you find a way to "clean up that garbage" like majkinetor has pointed out.
