It = is a bit like when I duplicate a solid or comp in the project window, AE = presumes I'd like to increase the number.  Sometimes yes, sometimes = no.  Often my client will have specific numbers for each = deliverable.  If I duplicate a comp, it's renumbered - often = incorrectly.  I'd like to name my solids Black 1920, duplicate it = and AE renames it Black 1921.  Forcing me to name it with the = number at the front or add characters.

Maybe I = would like an audio track, maybe I wouldn't, but I'd prefer to make that = decision.

Or, if the comp has audio, = should the render module default to audio = on?
