Description

When i copied a project that had a ton of files within it, the files did not copy with the new project. I submitted a issue requesting that files just link vs. copy and have duplicates. I think this would be the easiest approach to fixing this issue.

#1

Also, it appears the links did not copy as well.

#2

With beta 2 this is still an issue. It does not copy over the links and files created within the project when you use the copy project function.

#3

My problem is that links and files have become plugins. Somehow I have to invent something that will tell plugins to copy their data to some other project.

I will see if I can do a less elegant solution for beta 3.

P.S. Sorry for responding so late. This is one of the posts that came into my spam box.

Files are now copied properly in beta 3. Instead of actually copying the contents of the files (creating duplicates) only new links to the existing files are created. Creating duplicates is not possible with the given time limits and possibly large sizes of files and possibly large quantities of files.

So beware, if you delete a file including contents, projects that copied that file will show you an invalid file message when you access that file.

Oh, and links are copied properly as well now.
