2190	Rename / Copy features missing in OMEdit	Francesco Casella	Adrian Pop	"A typical development pattern in Modelica is that one starts from an existing class (e.g., from the MSL, or from one's own package), makes a copy of it, then starts modifying it. In older releases of OMEdit (e.g., r14547), one could right-click on the model icon and select Copy (though this was not possible in the MSL, for some reason), but the feature didn't work correctly and was later removed.

It would be highly recommended to have it back in OMEdit, because it can save a lot of time when developing system models.

Also the Rename feature was available in the same context menu, even though it crashed OMC (see #2001 and #2116). It was later removed, but it would be good to have it back, it would be very bad if users needed to carry out this task manually on their library.

Note that both functions require refactoring the type names in the declarations, if the new/renamed class is in a different package. This might require implementing new API functions."	enhancement	closed	critical		New Instantiation	trunk	fixed		m.ceraolo@… Adrian Pop Per Östlund Adeel Asghar dersh@…
