Copy as previously implemented was broken; it didn't copy attributes,  
for example. It was going to take some re-jiggering with the new code  
to implement it correctly, so for now I removed it. If there's a need  
for it I'm fine with bringing it back, just implemented right.

What I've seen is that some gallery default images aren't correct, but  
I haven't yet found images inside galleries that are wrong. You might  
try deleting the screen/thumb/mini size images for the ones that are  
off, and see if the full size images are right.

If you could add something to pull the names from $conf, that sounds  
like a good improvement.
