Unable to Create New Template from Old Template

I would be great if the template function could be modified / repaired and you were allowed to create new templates from old ones. Now, if you attempt to save your modified template from a previous save with a new name, it simply overwrites the old template with the new name. Can't get there from here. This creates needless workflow problems - as templates morph and need to be modified on the fly. Thanks Pond5!

Agreed, if you are uploading a bunch of clips in different categories from the same camera with the same pricing, copyright and some keywords.
I suppose the risk is that it might result in people being sloppy and we end up with more "spam" keywords.

There's always a risk people game the system in a crowd sourced model. But mostly I would guess it puts them in the back of the relevancy cue. There's time saving tools contrasted to just being lazy. I tweak each file after I apply a template, writing a new slightly different title and play with the keywords a bit. I seldom upload one file of just one subject - they always come in batches with variations, i.e. zoom in or not, new angle. Creating a template FROM a template would save a lot of time and work.
