Short description of error
The option to create a single-user copy for an image with multiple users in an Image Texture node doesn't exist in 2.92.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. In the Shading workspace go to the node editor
  2. Add a material to the cube.
  3. Add an Image Texture node and create a texture
  4. Duplicate the Image Texture node

In prior versions the number of users was indicated next to the image name and clicking on it would create a single-user copy of the image. This option is not available in the new drop down menu.

This is because of the design changes proposed in T79959 and implemented in rB2250b5cefee7f7cce31e388cb83515543ffe60f0. There is currently no option to make a single-user copy after the UI changes. The concerns about this particular issue have already been raised by @Evan Wilson (EAW).

@Julian Eisel (Severin) Would you like to keep this ticket open or address this concern directly in the commit or design task?

The design was reverted for 2.92, so this issue isn't present anymore rB2771dfd5632a.
For 2.93 a new iteration of the design is being worked on, T84669. This will include D9946 from the get-go and hence not have the issue reported here.
