[ome-devel] copy/move bug?

[Jean-Marie Burel]

Hi Niko

The entries in the menu are confusing. Gus went over a full review.
We are renaming to "Cut Link" instead of "Cut" for example.
The "Cut" action as it is, remove the link between the image and the
dataset for example.
The "Copy" action, will keep for example a ref to the source (e.g. Image),
then if it is followed by a "Paste",
A link between the source and the target (e.g. Dataset) will be created.

Linking objects not in the same group is not possible, that's why you saw
the "move" message.
In order to copy an image to 2 datasets that belong to 2 groups we will
have to have an image entry in each group.


Thanks
