Copy a topic with smartimage and reveal mask

[Vargr]

I am wondering if it is possible to copy a topic, that contains a smartimage and also copy the reveal mask over.

Say I have a map and the party have been into the first three rooms and the main corridor. This has been revealed in the smart image.

Now, for one reason or another I want to copy the topic and also carry over the state of the reveal mask (ie. the first three rooms and the main corricdor revealed).

The core assumption is that the reveal state is always independent for every new piece of content, so copying does not preserve the reveal state. If that's important in a given situation, you should probably consider exporting the topic and importing it back in. When you do the export, you should uncheck the advanced option about preserving authorship. This will ensure that the imported topic will come in as a true copy.

Well, it is not something I expect to need very often - if ever again.

I just wanted to see if I had missed some option.

I will for sure have an in depth look at the import export feature when I can set aside a day to play around with it.

As always thank you for your help. :-)
