Duplicate button in particle editor

It would be really handy to be able to create an exact copy of an emitter so that you could tweak only a couple things but still have the rest the same. For instance, if I want all the settings the same but I want to use a different image map.

Though that would be nice, what you can do for now is go into the edit options of the emitter... save it (make sure you add .emi to the end)... then go back to the Effect options... add a new emitter, name it whatever you want (the name will get changed by the saved name), then go to the edit options for that. In the edit options for that go to load and load your emitter :)

EDIT: Note you will need to restart the editor once you save it to see it in the load list
