Bug Description
Hi there,
if you try to copy and past a clone of an actual object into another file
you just past nothing which leads to confusion. I'm not sure what the best
solution would be. Perhaps always copy the actual object/data and not the
clone - since its just a consistent appearenace to the user.
At least if you past into another file and its obvious to inkscape that it
cannot past the clone since the reference is missing warn the user about it
so he know why it is not working.
thanks.

To post a comment you must log in.
When you try to paste a clone in a new document, the status bar reads "Orphaned Clone in layer n press shift + D to look up original." and when shift D is pressed - "Cannot find the object."
IMO this is enough feed back for this... a popup dialog would be to intrusive.
