Hi Rainer, I could think of a 3rd way :) Use the range selection and select the complete track.
The link in the database comes handy if you keep the same element in several folders. For example if you do a hike and you found some geocaches. You have a folder documenting the hike and you have a folder collecting all your geocache finds. Those two folders will share items. And if you edit an item in the folder it should be changed in the other one, too. This is fundamentally different to a file system where you copy files over and over again, ending up in N different versions of the same element. Never knowing which one is the latest. In QLGT I used hardcopies to preserve the original tracks. This is void in QMS as there is a history stored with the track. All track operations like cut, combine, reverse and range copy will create a completely new track and preserve the original one. So I really do not miss a hardcopy. But I observe a constant confusion of users in the Garmin forum concerning Basecamp because they do not get the difference between copy and duplicate. And I never understand why they want to duplicate an item in the first place.
