Nick,

Just a quick suggestion here, maybe it'll be of some use for future revisions. I have gotten much good use from the mob duplication, especially the duplication of mobprogs, but what I think would be useful is to expand this feature so that it works across area files.

What I mean is having it setup so that if you have multiple area files open you could duplicate a mob (or item, perhaps other things) from one file into another. I often find that setting up one mob is useful as a template for creating similar ones without having to go through the whole 9 yards again. If I wanted a similar mob in another area I was working on, it would be nice to be able to open them both and just copy the mob from area A to area B, rather than being limited to simply duplicating it within its own area. Does that make sense?

Anyway, just a suggestion that I felt like throwing out there. Make no mistake though, AE is already great as is, and I have no complaints as is. :)
