I needed to copy an override file in the template manager and realised that there was no copy file button only a rename.

I started to code this functionality but I saw that we already have this but I dont see where it is used

joomla-cms/administrator/components/com_templates/tmpl/template/default_modal_file_body.php

Lines 89 to 102 in 2ccd259

    
           <?php if ($this->type != 'home') : ?> 
        
               <hr class="mb-4"> 
        
               <form method="post" action="<?php echo Route::_('index.php?option=com_templates&task=template.copyFile&id=' . $input->getInt('id') . '&file=' . $this->file); ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="mb-4"> 
        
                   <div class="form-group"> 
        
                       <input type="hidden" class="address" name="address"> 
        
                       <input type="hidden" name="isMedia" value="0"> 
        
                       <label for="new_name"> 
        
                           <?php echo Text::_('COM_TEMPLATES_FILE_NEW_NAME_LABEL') ?> 
        
                       </label> 
        
                       <input class="form-control" type="text" id="new_name" name="new_name" required> 
        
                       <?php echo HTMLHelper::_('form.token'); ?> 
        
                   </div> 
        
                   <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"><?php echo Text::_('COM_TEMPLATES_BUTTON_COPY_FILE'); ?></button>

It says in the code if not home. Not sure if a template transports the default (home) flag from the style to this view. I can't find an alternate admin Template to test it.

That's not what home means

joomla-cms/administrator/components/com_templates/src/View/Template/HtmlView.php

Lines 191 to 197 in 2ccd259

    
           } elseif (\in_array($ext, $imageTypes)) { 
        
               try { 
        
                   $this->image = $model->getImage(); 
        
                   $this->type  = 'image'; 
        
               } catch (\RuntimeException) { 
        
                   $app->enqueueMessage(Text::_('COM_TEMPLATES_GD_EXTENSION_NOT_AVAILABLE')); 
        
                   $this->type = 'home';

You are right. The Copy is only visible when the modal is opened from something else than copy. But the modal does not exist in something else than home. Home seems to be the view when no file is opened.

Seems to be from J3 and not used any more.

I wonder what else is there in the template manager and not used?
