We haven't implemented clone cells yet. Actually, DimScape is on hold
for a while because we are doing some work for Ted Nelson that takes
priority. If you'd like to implement clone cells, we would like that
-- and I would at least be willing to help you with figuring out how
to implement them up to spec (the Xanadu specifications are pretty
confusing at best).

In terms of video cells -- there's a handful of problems with them,
ranging from the limited set of formats supported by gstreamer to the
differences between the qt-phonon and the kde-phonon. I have had them
working to a great degree, but even then I always had problems with
the colour pallette. It's a nice feature to have, but it is certainly
not fundamental to a zzstructure navigator, and the DimScape
implementation is at best a toy.

I'm glad to see some interest in the project, and I'll forward this to
the guy who did most of the work on this project.

But I've tried to setup zzcells with multiple zzlinks in the same dimension -which requires zzcell cloning- , and as far as I can see this feature is not still implemented in Dimscape. Am I wrong? Are you planning to implement that in a short term?
