Hi,
I can see the advantage in clone and move. I think that this tool is
most useful when digitising and adding new features into that same
layer. Replicate features is clearly made for copying features from
one layer into another. That's also what I have been using it. Perhaps
we will want to have them both, even it is hard to guess the
difference between clone and replicate. But mayby only the Clone tool
needs to be on the right click menu and replicate could be only
available from the Edit menu?
Agree with that.
Have you developers discovered that both these tools (clone and
replicate) seem to be happy with pasting features also
into non-editable layers?
Didn't notice, you're right, this is incorrect.

Jukka,
clone items not only duplicate items but also set the copies on
editing mode and opens move-item tool: it allows users to clone
and move objects on the workbench with only one click - the
regular duplicate item doesn't have these capabilities. It has
some possible usages, cloning object used for point simbology or
duplicate buildings which have the same shape. I rather use more
this Clone Tool for my maps than the regular Duplicate one - but
this is my point of view, more than this I made that tool.
Regarding your second question, I will try to find a solution.
Note that probabily Replicate Item tool has the same behaviour (I
will give a test, too)

*Oggetto:* [JPP-Devel] Difference between right click Clone items
and replicate-selected-items?
Hi,
There are two tools in the right click menu which seem to almost
the same thing. Clone items does not ask anything, it just clones.
Are there other meaningful differences.
I notices that if I have selected items from many layers the Clone
items is cloning them all into one of the selected layers. It
seems to be usually the layer that is highest on the layer legend
but not always. Because the behaviour is not easy to predict,
would it be better to make this tool usable only if user has
exactly one editable layer selected?
