<br>
Just wanted to raise discussion about a concern I have with the new<br>
"duplicate feature" / "duplicate feature and redigitize" actions which<br>
have been added for 3.0.<br>
<br>
While I like the functionality, I believe we should re-think the UX of<br>
how it is exposed in the QGIS interface.<br>
<br>
Currently, it's implemented as a "feature action", so appears in<br>
numerous places throughout the QGIS UI, including:<br>
- the actions drop down submenu on the toolbar<br>
- within the right click menu for the "identify tool"<br>
- under the "actions" heading in the identify results dock for a feature<br>
- in a menu bar at the top of the form shown after adding a new feature<br>
- as an entry within the right click menu in the attribute table<br>
<br>
So my initial concern is that exposing it in all these places is<br>
overkill and far too prominent for this operation. But my deeper<br>
concern is that these actions skip the edit buffer and directly alter<br>
layers in place, even when those layers are not made editable<br>
(<a href="https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17852" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://issues.qgis.org/<wbr>issues/17852</a>). So now we've got a menu item<br>
exposed in all these places which causes permanent changes to a layer,<br>
including in places which are not associated with editing at all (e.g.<br>
the identify tool right click menu).<br>
<br>
I'm also unsure what the actions would do in some contexts - e.g. if I<br>
create a new feature and then select "duplicate feature" in the popup<br>
form *before* this feature has even be finalized, what does it mean?<br>
<br>
I'd very much like to see this re-thought before our final release,<br>
and exposed in a more standard way via the advanced digitizing<br>
toolbar.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
