Number Layers when duplicated

[taif1]

Why [removed by moderator] do layers get a "Copy" or "Copy 2" at the end of the layer when duplicated, instead of simply numbering them? I usually number my layers and if i duplicate a layer i have to delete this "Copy 2" stuff, and number it manually. Such a time waste for a useless feature. Photoshop obviously has the ability to number layers, but only, if theres a "Copy" in the name, so it shouldn't be hart to fix.

All you need to do is set your layer options, simply use the menu in the layers panel to disable this layer feature:

It allows you to either rename in or keep the copy. It tells you which is the original and which is the copy.
