PS - finally get a native Layer Renaming tool...

Putting in a request for Adobe to invest some time in to creating a native and robust Layer Renaming tool. It's long overdue. Enough with the AI features please and lets get back to implementing foundational tools that improve workflow.

 

While scripts exist, they're tedious to find and must be updated manually by the users. Not great. A simple example of where a Layer Renaming tool would be very useful is in removing the included file extension in the layer name when we Load Files in to Photoshop Layers from Bridge. File exensions often aren't wanted in the layer name. A tool in PS that would eliminate this would be great. Again, this is all doable using 3rd party scripts but it should be a native feature of PS.

I have added my vote for native features over scripts.

 

Some example features from scripts...

 

Add serial number, but would be good as both prefix or suffix, otherwise one would need to rename a second time using a regex to re-order:

 

Prefix/suffix/remove/insert and a regular expression based find/replace:

 

 

 

Until such a day arrives, I'll gladly use scripts instead of manually doing it.
