One function that is needed in Paper is the ability to duplicate folders and files.  A huge part of functionality for me, in Evernote, is that I develop a template folder with a multi-note structure.  I then duplicate that template whenever I need.

 

This functionality is sorely needed in Paper.  I currently see no way for me to take a folder and copy it within Paper.

sgopalan : I always use the function 'Templatize' >> 'Make a copy' >> 'Create doc'.

By this the document gets copied and your copy is also named seperatly with (copy) 😉

There's currently no way to duplicate a Paper or folder/set of folders. 

 

Two reasons this can be useful:

1. Creating backups

2. Using a template folder structure as a way of keeping folders organized and consistent
