First of all I want to congratulate eMagicOne team for their effort to develop a great Magento management platform. I'd like to request a feature who to my surprise was not implemented when I bought the software. Later the category tree copy/paste function was added and I was in heaven until I realized the full functionality is missing.
Some of us are dealing with big category trees and most of the time the same category can be found in multiple places. The copy/paste function for category tree is great and saves a lot of time, but unfortunately the products can only be cloned, and the clones are recognized by Magento as completely different products.
Now the only way is to copy/paste category structure and then to manually assign products to each copied category. This is a good thing is you have only a few duplicate categories, but when you need to copy dozens or hundreds it's a pita.
I found a couple of extensions who do this successfully but spending extra money and working from two places to manage the catalog is awkward. SM is a great platform and even it has it's limitations, it saves you a lot of precious time and it's a pity this function is not fully functional.
Please consider implementing this function. This is my one and only major request, as I can live with any limitations or mini-bugs are left or overlooked.
PS: And please disable the category tree auto-expansion after creating or pasting a new category. It's SOOO annoying :D
Thank you so much for everything and keep the good work people!

Hello Sergiy,
I have sent you the links for the extensions (I'm sure you can find more than those three), and also voted my request. Can I vote a few more times.... 100 would be ok I guess :)):D?
It's a shame this very useful feature wasn't or can't be implemented sooner. Too late for me I'm afraid. I'm going nuts these days manually copying parts of the category tree and it's going soooo slow.
Have a nice day and keep up the good work!

Hello Sergiy,
Please read the initial post and the title of the request. The "products will be cloned" was the problem, and that was what I wanted to be changed.

Yes, you are right.
This task was added to our To-do list.
I'm afraid we'll not be able in the currrent Release.
THis task was added in Spring Development plan.
I hope it'll be implemented in March-April.
Detgailed info will be available in the middle of February.

We have not finished last Release.
I want to add copy-paste with relations also.
Clone option - I'm not sure to solve all task in one Release.
For a while you can use Copy-Paste option.

See what you can do about it Sergiy. I might not be needing it that much by the time when it's implemented, but it's a very useful feature for your software and comes naturally along with the copy-paste option. Thank you.

There are a lot of ideas for categories:
Copy-paste with Relations
Clone
Advanced search\filter for huge categories tree
and more...more...
Right now we have a big list of to-do tasks in development plan.
I hope to add new features gradually to make it in time. :-)
