Hi,

I'm not the initial author of that copy/paste thing.
I've just seen it was broken.
When you have a look at my patch you see tagging-copy-things happen in 
ImageInfo.cpp, line 486, copyExtraData.
I didn't anlyse what's happening in there but as far as I've seen, it copies 
the tagging info from the origin file (image) to the destination one. And 
because the info about the destination image is changed the dirty flag should 
be set.
What I have done:
- select an origin image
- press ctrl-c
- select an destination image
- press ctrl-v
-> info from origin is copied to destination image.
