Description Olexiy Buyanskyy CLA 2010-09-20 11:31:12 EDT
By nature of my work I have to create many targets during a day I usually use copy of existing target and insert in the same location.

For example:
Original:
${boxname} compile
Created from original:
${boxname} compile V=3
${boxname} compile COMPILER=gcc

I have noticed that I am wasting time to remove 'Copy of'. I never saw a reason to keep Copy of prefix.
I propose do not insert 'Copy of' in the beginning of Target name. I think that copy of the target will be faster and convenient

I also dislike "Copy of" prefix but I think that CDT as a product should keep it just for consistency with other views, see Project Explorer for example. Does anybody else have an opinion on that?
