    Default glitch with duplicate layer names

    apologies if this is already known

    creating duplicate layers in XDP7 - the default name is only the first letter of the source layer name followed by - copy

    no disaster but can be inconvenient when working quickly

    Try making 5 duplicates of the same page, you have document, copy document, copy copy, document copy, copy, copy, etc. It has been this way since there were multiple pages. I should think that a number would be tidier. Document (1), document (2), etc.

    Default Re: glitch with duplicate layer names

    I used to get the full name followed by copy - this was acceptable

    but now I only get the first letter - so if all my layers are in sequence say project_nnn they all end up as the same 'p - copy' not 'project001 - copy', 'project002 - copy' etc - which whilst not the end of the world [whatever did happen to that BTW] is not helpful

    ....

    thanks Gerry, appreciated

    @ Gary - I think the (1) style notation already exists when importing layers that have same names as exiting ones - eg PDF's, cut and paste from other XAR's ......
