duplicate layer dialog box

Question

in config. i want to have a DUPLICATE LAYER button just
immediately create a duplicate layer, so its a oneclick process,
but instead it pops up a dialog box for me to name the new layer,
which i dont want to do, and it makes config. not be more efficient
then dragging a layer to the new layer icon in my layers panel to
create a duplicate layer.

does someone know what extra coding i could add, or whatever
it takes so that a DUPLICATE LAYER button in config. will
immediately add a dup layer?

tx for any input

The simple way to remove the dialog box.
First, open your panel in Configurator, click the "Duplicate Layer" button.
In the "Inspector" of Configurator (Right side panel), click the pencil icon at the right side of the "script" attribute.
A simple editor dialog will pop up, please find script code:
executeAction( id16, desc4, DialogModes.ALL );

Modify "DialogModes.ALL" to "DialogModes.NO".

Then re-export the panel.

Enjoy :)

ahh, thats perfect! thank you greatly, so now i know anytime i want to supress dialogs just to change the DialogModes
thats handy and i hope it helps others anytime they need to supress dialogs (perhaps a checkbox option to automatically enable things in configurator to show dialogs or supress them would be handy).

now if you can figure the puzzle of how to add extra keystrokes to commands as i am now trying to get the MERGE VISIBLE to work with an extra ALT keystroke so i can have it do a MERGE VISIBLE ON NEW LAYER instead of MERGE VISIBLE (converting a sht+ctl+e into a sht+ctl+alt+e which i use alot)
thanks again!
