2:3 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hello, I am wondering why images that are placed via the Place Image Tool are with and images that are placed by drag + drop directly from the finder into the document are without extension (.Tif, . jpg ...) in the Layers Window? Can I change this to always see the extension? Does anyone know that? Thanks (I first thought it could be changed in the Preferences "Automatically hide extension". This is why the Pref. Window is also in the screenshot. But that is for the file extension.)

walt.farrell Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The file extensions show on Windows, so it's something specific to Mac, but I don't know what.

2:3 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 so it is Mac specific. And so there is no reason behind it. It's been here since Version 1. So maybe some day it will be fixed. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layer actually does not have an extension, so it is just a naming inconsistency -- IOW, only documents actually have extensions. Document layers do not have individual file extensions.

If I reimport the drag'n'dropped extensionless image by using the Resource Manager, the Layers panel will update to display the extension.

"reimport"? I can update or replace the images in the resource manager. And yes, doing this will then show the extensions in the layer window. A bit circuitous, but thanks.
