It's common of course to create multiple variations of a song under different names in case you decide you like a previous version better. When your FTM file consists of one song, this is no problem: just create song1.ftm, song2.ftm, etc., or something similar.
But if your FTM file has a whole bunch of songs in it, creating a new FTM file isnt appropriate when you only want to make a variation of a single song in it. Instead, you probably want to keep all your variations in a single FTM file and then strip out the unwanted ones later. But making a copy of a song in order to do this currently requires a bunch of manual copying and pasting. So why not just make a "copy song" feature that does it for you? It should be simple to program and it could be helpful on a project I'm working on. What do you think?
2: There is sort of already a way to do what you're suggesting. Copy your FTM to a different file, delete all songs except the one you want to import, then going back to your FTM with all the songs in it, select "Import file" in Module Properties. Browse to your other FTM. Voilà, a copy of your song for you to modify. Not the most elegant way to proceed, but it's better than nothing I suppose.
