Duplicate Image

[RRowe]

I need to duplicate open an PSD. I've been using Image>Duplicate. The only issue is that I am running actions and need to modify the results a little. By default, the duplicated document is named the same, followed by a "space" and "Copy". The added space is messing up an export I need to do. I would rather not name each document manually when duplicating, so is there a way to remove the added text when duplicating an image?

Hold shift key when click on menu item 'Duplicate'

use this script

(ad = activeDocument).duplicate(ad.name)

@jazz-y – I can't get the modifier key to work on the Mac?

I tested how modifiers work for me before writing, but at the moment I can not get the same result. If no modifier is pressed, a window appears prompting you to enter a name, if you press alt then a duplicate is created without a dialog box with the prefix "copy". But I'm sure that at the time of writing the answer, the shift worked as well. I'm at a loss. The only assumption is that at that time I had a faulty keyboard, perhaps some of the keys were stuck and gave such a strange effect.

Rather, my message in this part does not make any sense.

UPD: I think I understand what's the matter. I use an optional POS keyboard that uses rare shortcuts to perform certain functions. One of these functions is to run a script to create a duplicate of the current image with code similar to that written above. That is, at that moment my keys were really stuck and when I pressed shift, I actually pressed ctrl + shift + alt + 6, intended for the POS keyboard

*EPIC FAIL*

All good. I thought that I had missed a new feature or something!

in fact, when I wrote the answer, it also seemed strange to me that the shift key was used as a modifier (usually it alt key), but at that time I did not attach any importance to this 🙂

By @RRowe

You mean Photoshop actions? You can call or run above script using Photoshop action as step in action.
