Duplicating a layer/folder adds the word "Copy" at the end - How to disable this?

[Vincent_G.@adobeforums.com]

Hello World,

Every time you duplicate a folder or a layer, it adds the word "Copy" at the end. Is there a way to get rid of this?

I've been looking for a solution to this for the past 2 years. I spend 8 hours a day in Photoshop creating Comps. I'm crazy about having my layers clean, therefore I use a lot of folders, etc.

I probably waste an hour a day removing the $%)?#* Copy word at the end of layers/folders. This is driving me CRAZY while losing a lot of precious time.

Any clues?

I'm still hoping Adobe will get rid of this with every new release and it never happens. Am I actualy the only one to think this "feature" is insane?

Thank you.

You could duplicate with a script or action. Also do not forget, that when you Alt+drag your stuff on the New Layer icon, you can immediately rename your items...

I hate that too, I have my own system for saving and naming files
I work in psd >>save as layered
then save a tiff flattened at porint dimensions
then a save for web copy

since there is no other tiff saved in the folder I don't need the word copy
added to the file name
it is annoying
the only work around is to leave the layers box checked in the save dialog
and then in the next dialog box choose discard layers and save flattened

What about there and back again? Drag to blank doc, drag back.

Kat,

He's complaining about Layer names, not file names.
