is it possible to copy a Map Display to create a new identical one?

Thanks,

I don't know of an automatic way (yet), but manually it is not too complicated:

- save your workspace to file
- open workspace file in a text editor
- copy everything between

<display name="Display 1" ...

and the next

   </display>

- paste this after this last </display>
- rename the new copy
- save workspace file
- reload workspace from file

But I agree that a 'duplicate workspace' function could be handy.

You can create a ticket for it. A reasonable task for somebody who would
like to start with wxGUI programming.
