Layer name length restrictions?

[pkclsoft]

Hi all,

I've noticed, with one file I've brought across from Photoshop, that when I setup the slice and export settings, the @x1 layer name is shown with a yellow (warning?) highlight, and is being given an "_2" suffix.

I've tried creating the same scenario from scratch but can't.  I thought it was a name length issue.  Removing the underscore between "x" and "w" removes the highlight and the _2 suffix.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

The warning could be because you already have a slice export with the same name but it’s difficult for us to tell from the screen-grab.
Try checking the file names of the exports of the other slice.
If that doesn’t work can you give us a screen-grab showing us the expanded Slices Panel (so we can see as much of it and its contents as possible)?

Try hoover mouse over yellow triangle/text.

Thanks @Pšenda that was the warning I needed.  I don't get the warning symbol so I didn't know to hover there.  When I hovered my mouse at that spot a tooltip showed with that same warning.

Placing a folder name in the "path" field removed the warning which gave me a hint to follow @GarryP's suggestion.  The unused file export had a duplicate name in it.  Removing that also removed the warning.

Thanks so much.

Do you have a MacOS version? - an interesting difference. And next to the slice name, do you see a warning triangle? (in my picture it's the first one above).

Yes I have the macOS version.  As per the screenshot in my OP, there's no warning triangle, but if I put my mouse where it should be, I get the warning tooltip.
