I'd certainly not look for that functionality it in the 'Copy to' sub palette, and even if I did see the Journal icon in there I would assume it was a bug (this object is already in my Journal, why would I want to copy over it).

Ok, accepted, as you are not the only one. Let's keep the duplicate entry.

Ohh no, everything but not that :-)

Yeah, thought that as well myself this morning, attached are the new 
screenshots.

Some words about my decisions:

- the duplicate option is only visible in the Journal entry palette and 
the Journal entry detail view, not in the palette and detail view of the 
file on the external device

- the duplicate option is colored in the entry color as this exact entry 
gets duplicated (in the screenshots we see two entries with different 
colors in the same Journal and the color of the option changes 
accordingly), I wondered if the icon itself should show actually two 
colored objects not only one (duplication)

- the copy-to Journal option in the palette of the file on the external 
device is colored in the users color.

- for the copy-to icon I am not sure if colored or black/white makes 
more sense, because uncertain I went for b/w

Regards,
