new features means more bugs, less stabil

often times updates are making the app work with less stability,

many times when an update strikes it does not introduce something as useful as the core features.

the last update changed the actions menu and layers menu.

the layers update does not account for duplicated layers numbered, there is no number. the ai label system is not mandatory but the ad implies it should replace this.

pair this with the new actions tool, which obtrusely is designed like an ai generated thing. it looks and works less straightforwaly… than the old one. IT GETS CONFUSED WHICH LAYER IT IS ON BECAUSE OF DUPLICATE BACKGROUND LAYERS WITHOUT A NUM#.

some of the images on the app are strange like the loading menu has a weird image.

there should be a new devmanager team for this app, I want to buy the new one that has better features like more depth to the image.

Go to the Actions panel menu and choose Classic Actions to use the Actions panel as it used to be.

I’m not sure I understand your Layers question. Do you have screenshots? Another volunteer may chime in on that one if you don’t.

it is supposed to be background copy, background copy 1 then background copy 2 when duplicating background layers. it labels it auto.

If you use the “Duplicate layer” command you get Background > Background copy > Background copy 2. That seems perfectly logical to me (and you can make a single shortcut for it if you do it a lot).

However, if you just ctrl+C > ctrl+V in the Layers panel, everything is just copied strictly as-is. So they get the same name. I agree that’s pretty pointless in this specific context - but it’s in keeping with the way copy-paste works everywhere else as a system-wide universal function.

As for the new Actions panel, it’s part of the new “modern user interface” that is rolled out piece by piece over several releases. Yes, it requires a bit of muscle memory adjustment, but I think the main problem here is the force of habit. If I was entirely new to the application, I might well prefer that. It’s logically and functionally consistent.
