Gigatronix Pete Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hello team Whenever I import, place or just drag an image into Designer it now comes in with the file extension added ...ie HSS-0174.png It never used to do this so maybe it's something to do with the recent update? Anyway is there somewhere I can turn it off please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I can't say that I've noticed it as a change, but it seems like worthwhile information to have in the Layers panel, especially now that Designer supports Linked images, not just Embedded. I'm not aware of any options to influence that. I'm curious why it's a problem, if you'd like to share Gigatronix Pete 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Gigatronix Pete Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hello @walt.farrell Thanks for the reply ...it's not the biggest problem in the world but just something that has started happening recently & I assumed it was the last update of a few weeks ago as i've not experienced it before. It's just a personal preference & something I would like to be able to turn on or off Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the extension in the layer name makes it easier to distinguish (Image) layers that are true external files from those that have been created by the new function. And for consistency perhaps the other applications changed their way of labeling, too. Personally, I find it useful as I have files with identical names and different extensions, and this lets me easily see which I've used.
