Thanks, I will try your plugin, I see you support it very actively, hang in there
with this plugin, the elephants for this type of plugin are not responsive to support
and have a lot of issues, people will eventually come here, but when you become 
the elephant, please remember us little people 🙂

Solution of copying files from parent theme to child theme while keeping the path!
I like the GUI

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to request FTP access just to copy a single
parent theme template file to a child theme… Wish I would’ve known about this plugin
sooner.
