@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.

@DavideBarranca I was wondering if there is a way to call back via uxp button a psjs file, I tried a couple of ways but it doesn't work, you have faced this problem.

@Ciccillotto I don't think so, but you can try to batchPlay the File > Script > Browse... and point to a `file:`, but be aware that there are manifest permissions to set, unless the file is in the plugin's sandbox. Adobe did something to restrict that Browse... call for JSX, IIRC, so it may or may not work (can't test now)

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