@DavideBarranca , please forgive another intrusion; could you chime in on short/efficient UXP-code for this task?

Hi @c.pfaffenbichler,

I'd do it like this:

const { app, core } = require("photoshop");
await core.executeAsModal( async () => {
  app.activeDocument.duplicate(app.activeDocument.name, true);
}, { commandName: "Duplicate with the same name" });

Which seems exactly what @Ciccillotto is using 👌
The boolean is for merged layers, like in ExtendScript, BTW.

In the preferences, under file handling, check the box that says: "Do not append 'copy' to filename when saving a copy."

I didn't explain myself well when I duplicate the document the word copy comes out.

~~@Davide_Barranca12040269 - Is the code for a panel or script? I saved the code from @Ciccillotto as a .psjs file, but nothing happened when run from Ps 2024 File > Scripts > Browse...~~

EDIT:

This works as .psjs:

app.activeDocument.duplicate(app.activeDocument.name, true);

or

app.activeDocument.duplicate(app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, ''), true);

Mine works if saved as a `.psjs`.
@Ciccillotto 's is missing the `commandName` prop in the options object (an empty one is fine, according to the docs) but lacks the function call to `DUPLICADOC()`

@Ciccillotto you can do that from the layers panel flyout menu, if that's what you mean.
