Error copying files in Finder of OS X

Not only PK of Page model rises and data are copypasted into new empty Page model instance. Those plugins are copied to. So mentioned plugins PK would change to 15 and 16 accordingly, assuming 14 is the latest plugin pk. New copied plugins will be linked to new page. Tha...
