Copy/Paste with shared connections

Copy / Paste with Shared Connections by Jens Kafitz

The Default Mari Copy and Paste to duplicate a layer selection in a different location does not respect sharing.

copied,originally shared layers will be pasted as unique, unshared layers
when copying a channel layer, the channel the channel layer originates from will be duplicated

The Mari Extension Pack Copy/Paste with Shared Connections rectifies this issue.

Shared Layers will always be relinked to their original source, including in Mask Stacks
Pasted Channel Layers will be relinked to the original channel, without unnecessary channel duplication

In addition, If a Layer in the Layerstack has Nodegraph connections feeding into it that use Radio Nodes,

creating a copy with shared connections will now always treat the radio node as a shared resource between both layers.

This means that the new shared Layer will share the will share the same nodes that fed into the original Radio Node.

Performance Notice

Depending on the number of copied layers and the amount of shared layers/channels contained

in their mask and adjustment stacks, pasting layers may take several seconds to complete.
