copy paste io-box id handling

[ingolfheinsch]

Description

if i copy and paste an exposed io box in vvvv it will be pasted with the same id as the source - so it wont appear in front end. even re-exposing using ctrl + k twice doesnt generate a new id.

HowTo Reproduce

copy and paste exposed io-box

Expected and actual results

pasted io-boxes should get a new unique id

But didn’t we say we want it like that? We want to be able to use the same exposed IOBox twice. - In Context though.. Un- and Re-Exposing should make it appear as a new one though.

how it could work:
when receiving the "new node added" event the graph api could cache the new node then check if there is aleready a existing node with the same id in the local graph and if so generate a new one for the cached node.
the behavior for cut & paste - where the id is copied - remains untouched.

if wanted. removing id by de-expose event could be a solution

but at the moment the copy and paste acts like this:
after pasting i got 2 io boxes with the same id but only the source one is sending and receiving graph events.
