If you open non-Affinity file, e.g. JPEG, the default layer name is "Background", which is inconvenient if you want to keep track of what you work with. It would be great if filename would be used as the layer name, by default or as an option. It would be also more consistent with existing behavior of drag and drop on the document, as then new layer name is the filename.

 

Carried over from v1:

I also would like the first layer name to default to the filename rather than to Background. The opened jpg is not what I would ever call background. It is the picture of interest so let's call it by its name. If I were to place additional photos in the document, APhoto defaults to naming those layers with their filenames. Why not name the original layer after its filename?
