How can I prevent the words "Copy of ~" from appearing when in the layer name when duplicating a layer?

Question

When duplicating a layer or folder, how do I set the layer name so that it does not say "Copy of ~"?



Answer

Under [Layer/Frame] in [Preferences], set [Name of copies] to [Do not rename] to stop "Copy of ~” appearing in layer and folder names.



Procedure

(1) Open Preferences.


(2) Select [Layer/Frame] from the menu on the left.


(3) Select [Do not rename] for [Name of copies] and click [OK].



Now, when you duplicate a layer, it will no longer have "Copy of ~" in the layer name.
