Communigate Pro AE-List@media-motion.tv Message 51750

Would it be problematic to use the old behavior (not using unique names) except in the case of Copy with Parameters? 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. Todd is a rock star and I'm pretty sure we all knew that even before he started doing the splits on the list.

Ok, thank you all for the quick help.
In the long term, it would be great to have something like:

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

Cheers,

Would be

thats new in 12.1 i believe.
i find it a big pain in my workflow as well and i dont believe there is a way to disable it
12.1 added "copy with property links" so now when use that feature it makes sure that there arent two layers with the same name

Hi everyone,

I just tried to create two layers with the same name (say "Test") but AE disallows it and automatically renames the second one "Test 2". Even if I try to explicitly rename it to "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
