You are right. Copy and paste is the way to go here, not what I
suggested, because
copy and paste is much simpler. It is too bad that the packing flags do not copy
correctly. Sometimes I need to copy a container without its contents, just so
that I can copy its default parameters. Nevertheless, copy and paste is
again the way to go. Being able to select cut items from the clipboard
to paste them elsewhere later is a real neat feature. I should
remember to utilize it more often.
