[Fabian Fricke]

Revision: 861
          http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-extensions&revision=861
Author:   frigi
Date:     2010-07-28 02:25:37 +0200 (Wed, 28 Jul 2010)

Log Message:
-----------
-Added some feedback for the user:
When attributes are copied that are not easily visible to the user an info message is displayed in the header. (Also warnings if something went wrong.)

- Disabled copying of the texture space for now as it's not working. A different solution has to be found for this one. It was trying to write to readonly attributes.
