I want to reuse logos from one of my projects in another project. I have both projects open, but when I copy and paste the resources, copies are created—yet they aren’t copies of my actual files. Is there a simple way to copy and paste resources from one project to another?

Yeah, this is a bit of a bug/issue, right now you can’t drag and drop resources from one project to another. @colinmac can you create a ticket for @tpbradley to look into this.

As a workaround for now, drag them out to the Finder and then back into the new project resources area.

Yep, known limitation right now. I have flagged it for Tom to look into.

In the meantime your Finder workaround is the right call: drag the files out, then drop them into the new project Resources.
