Copy and paste inside Designer

[FrankR]

Copy and paste inside Designer would be very helpful.

Oops - nevermind. I see the Duplicate function. Great. Thanks.

But Duplicate with child views does not duplicate locations

When you have a view of views - i.e. a panel with other controls/views - and you duplicate the panel, the child controls/views of the duplicated parent do not retain locations. I'm having to re-key the Tops and Lefts.

I see it too. There is a bug that pushes the internal views a few pixels to the right. It will be fixed.

To the right - and down, too. Thank you.

I would like to duplicate whole "layout" to whole "new layout".. now I have to create similar views from zero... and copy/paste between different layouts would be nice..

In the designer window, if you load the layout you want to duplicate, and use "Save As" on the file menu, you can duplicate the current view with a different name.

..so simple, I have not thought that

it would be great to add the ability to select multi items (views) in the designer so that I could move all views up/down at the same time. This would also hopefully allow multi copy/paste to work. Thanks

And - you can just copy the file from the filesystem.

Also the ability to multi select and then click left align and width buttons to speed up view placement and positioning.

copy/paste between different activities

Is there any way to copy/paste different views from one activity to the other? This procedure will greatly improve desingning speed.

You can use the Save As option to make a copy of the complete layout and then modify it as needed.

Yes, this is true. I do not want to be mischievous, however but this is not what I suggested. Just a "simple" copy/paste between activities. Is hard to use Designer menu... maybe some shortcuts like <Del for Remove current view>, <Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v for Duplicate selected view>..and (in the future, maybe between diffrent activities)

Thanks, I know this is a huge job for you. Keep on the good work!
