We plan to keep the layer of the objects, if copy&paste happens on the same

Doubt that an internal object identification by name is a good idea. You have
to suppress identical naming and on paste you add a number (Foo1). But that's
up to development. From the user perspective I don't care.
The user will be able to change display name without affecting the
internal name. The current solution of "paste always to the active
layer" produces the problem described in the linked comment".
We need advise, what should happen, if an object is copy&pasted into a
different page of the same document. In the end of the project it will be possible,
that pages of a document may have different layer-sets. Similar problem is pasting
into a different document. Possible actions e.g.
a) paste all into the active layer
b) paste objects into that layer, which has the same name, and on the active
layer in case no such layer exists
c) paste objects into that layer, which has the same name, and generate a new
layer in case no such layer exists.
d) others?
As an example
Page 1
Layer "Foo"
Shape_1
Group_1
Shape_2
Shape_3
Layer_Bar
Page 2
Default layer
If you copy/move Shape_1 from Layer_Foo to Page 2 it should affect only this
object, and Shape_1 is placed on the default layer.
So do not generate a new layer "Foo" on page 2.
If the user copy/pastes a group, all objects are taken.
That is the purpose of a group. But you can have this situation
Page 1
Layer "Foo"
Shape_1
Shape_2 (contained in group1)
Layer_Bar
Shape_3 (contained in group1)
Page 2
Default layer
So group1 contains shapes from different layers, see description in the
linked comment.
And we need a separate function for the layer. So copying Layer_Bar
There is currently no option to copy a layer. We have not yet considered
such option.
into page 2 adds it likewise when creating a new layer and pasting
just all objects from Layer_Bar. Differently to the ctrl+a,ctrl+c/x
interaction, I would include all hidden elements too for the layer copy
action..
There exists no hidden elements in Draw/Impress. Visible/Not-Visible is
a property of the layer not of the element.
But you are right, copying an entire layer sound like a useful feature.
That would be an option "paste and force a new layer for the clipboard
content".
Kind regards
Regina
