User interface suggestion for the image browser : inserting selected transformations

[pierrelabreche]

To copy one of more transformations to a new location, the user
first selects them using a yellow check or tick mark ...
and then clicks on the thumbnail where to insert the sectected transformations after, ...
and then clicks a button similar to the windows "copy symbol" to "copy all selected transformations and insert them immediately following the current transformation".

Suggestion : The interface could be mote intuitive if the "paste icon" were used rather than the "copy icon".

The associated help would read as :
"paste all selected transformations immediately following the current transformation".

The term paste is normally only associated with the clipboard -- implementing cut, copy and paste of transformations to the clipboard would be very complicated and potentially confusing since transformations on the clipboard might reference other transformations that are not on the clipboard. Pasting transformations into another workspace is also problematical. Snippets, along with their limitations, are more similar to using the clipboard.
