AssetModificationProcessor is not notified when an asset is duplicated
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open user attached project
2. Create any type of asset (a Material for instance) in the assets
3. Notice the console logged the creation of the asset file and the creation of the associated meta file
4. Duplicate an asset
5. Notice nothing is logged in the console, AssetModificationProcessor.OnWillCreateAsset is not called
Expected result: AssetModificationProcessor.OnWillCreateAsset is called when duplicating an asset
Actual result: AssetModificationProcessor.OnWillCreateAsset is not called when duplicating an asset
Reproduced in: 2017.3.0a7, 2017.2.0b11, 2017.1.1p1, 5.6.3p3, 5.5.4p4

I am affected by this as well and don't know how to work around this issue. I need to keep track of custom metadata for specific assets. There are callbacks for all of the other operations: create, save, move, delete, everything works fine except this special case when users duplicate an asset, which happens pretty often because it's one of the fastest ways to create new assets.

I have this issue too, it's pretty annoying trying to keep an asset manifest.
As a workaround, I used OnWillSaveAssets and wait for the asset to be saved, but this is not a good enough solution because the OnWillSaveAssets could be called ages into the future. Any ideas on how to fix it until Unity get's around to it?
