Just wondering if there is a recommended way to copy a design? I tried cloning a design and encountered error messages such as:

[quote]MySource Warning

Cannot find the design file to print the asset, "3874" [CORE0259]



PHP Warning

paint([SYSTEM_ROOT]/data/private/assets/design/0015/3912/design_file.php) [function.paint]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory



Fatal error: paint() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/websites/mysource_matrix/data/private/assets/design/0015/3912/design_file.php' (include_path='.:/home/websites/mysource_matrix/php_includes:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/websites/mysource_matrix/core/assets/designs/design/design.inc on line 986[/quote]



and in investigating it became apparent that the css files had not been copied in the cloning of the design?

The easiest way is to export the design and import it on a new Design asset. You can do this on the Import/Export screen.
