'Copied' collection does not include macro defined' derived variables. Is this a normal behaviour ? If so, what is the way to proceed ? (In copied collection I still want to have the new variables as derived, so export and then import to the new collection is not an option).

Hi Slawomir,
User defined derived variables are saved to view files (*.xview). When loading a view file, the derived variables are restored but only if the name of the current collection equals the collection name stored inside the view file.
This means, you now have two options:
1. When copying a collection make sure the new one has the same name as the old one.
2. Once a collection is copied, edit the view file(s) of the new collection. Therefore open the xview-file in a text editor and change the collection="Original-Collection-Name" attribute in line 2 to collection="Copied-Collection-Name".
Cheers, Stephan

Hi Stephan,
Thanks a lot, this is what I needed to know.
BTW: as I can see on the forum, there is a list of such tips and tricks on things 'under the hood'; would you perhaps consider to include them (and others) into the manual some day ?
