You get what's expected if you're not using copy with parameters and you get something that works if you do use it. Win/win? P.S.

In the long term, it would be great to ha= ve something like:

- by default new/duplicated layers get a unique name
- if yo= u manually rename them to the original name, a confirm message (with an &qu= ot;don't show this again") informs you about what side effects thi= s will have.

Cheers,

Hi every= one,

I just tried to create two layers with the same nam= e (say "Test") but AE disallows it and automatically renames the = second one "Test 2". Even if I try to explicitly rename it to &qu= ot;Test" again.

Why is this and is there any way to avoid this behavior= ? With CS6 it works fine.

I did some scripts for a= client that need some layers have the same name.

cheers,
Mathias
