Description Tom Roche

Often I want to create a file that's pretty much like an existing
file. E.g. at the moment I have file1 in package0 extends file0, and I
want to create file2 in package1 extends file1. I believe

* I am not alone: this is something others do

* rclick>Refactor>Clone on file1 would be way cool

This would be the composite of my current actions:

0 rclick (old file)>Copy

1 rclick (probably a different package)>Paste

2 rclick (new file)>Refactor>Rename

Step 2 might be unnecessary if different package (same name OK).
Step 2 would be mandatory if package did not change.

Given the current schedule this will not make it for 2.1 without external help.

No action planned for 3.0 until we get external help

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
