For years I have been saying that clones can create multiple views of data. That's true, but today I realized that that "story" is misleading. In fact, I use clones simply as a way of accelerating my work flow!
I do indeed clone nodes and drag them at or near the top level, where I can get at them easily. So you *could* say that this creates a new view of the data. But this is misleading, for several reasons: - I'm not really so interested in a new view. I really just want to get my hands on the relevant nodes quickly. - When I'm done with the clones, I simply delete them. In fact, there are disadvantages to keeping old "views" around: they "clog up" finds, and they can cause clone conflicts on loads. So I typically just keep a few clones around. In fact, the way I use clones, their advantages all revolve around work flow: - The originals never move, so the source files don't change (except when I change the contents of the clones!) - There is nothing to "put back in place" when I am done. Deleting the "work" clones is all that is needed. Amazing. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
