This process is different from what is currently done in the
TOOL_DUPLICATE
case, where it only changes the owner on nodes that were already owned by the one being copied. I'm not sure what cases are covered this way, but should it be the same here?In general, could duplicate and paste share most of the code since they are similar processes? (apart from the fact paste also handles separate scenes).

Well, they do share much of the code. Though the most important part is
duplicate_from_editor()
. I just tried to make a common method that would be called in both cases and well, it didn't work. The method I use in paste is much simplified and adjusted to work in scenarios that duplicate doesn't happen (like, copying scene root or pasting across the scenes).Is the difference you spotted important? The code never failed me (and I've been using it since it was PRed here), but maybe there's some edge case I didn't predict and it breaks everything (not like it's possible to make the code perfect anyways).

I don't know if it's important, and in the duplicate code it was there from the beginning so it's difficult to confirm the reason why it's done this way. I guess time will tell :)
My main point was that it might be safer and cleaner to use a common method, but if the two cases are too different to do that it's fine.
