abadideawhat every artist wants:
layer 1
layer 2
layer 3
what every software gives:
layer 1
layer 1 copy
layer 1 copy copy

Oxyte 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴@mctwist @0xabad1dea Bug: if I have two layers, one named "layer" and another named "layer copy" and I try to copy "layer", this code will try to create "layer copy", which already exists
Solution: keep resolving until you have an unused name:
while layerExists(layer_name)
layer_name += " copy"

dram🎀@0xabad1dea quite a few years back i was writing stuff in vscode about crc32. then i wanted to start something similar with the same boilerplate so i just copied the crc32/ directory and pasted in the same place
from the way i'm saying this you can probably guess what directory name vscode gave me
fortunately, i don't think it does that anymore
Ratsnake Games 🔞@dramforever @0xabad1dea all heuristics have edge cases where they mess up, that doesn't mean heuristics are useless
@ratsnakegames @0xabad1dea tbc i love these heuristics, sometimes they're really funny
like the time someone excel autofilled "3d printing workshop" "4d printing workshop" "5d printing workshop"
tekhedd@dramforever @ratsnakegames @0xabad1dea My tesseract printer broke a belt on the time axis and spaghetti is everywhere in time and space.
Tom Forsyth@dramforever @ratsnakegames @0xabad1dea The frustrating one is when your filenames have hex in them, and Windows tries to sort them sensibly:
file_2a
file_2b
file_2c
file_2d
file_2e
file_2f
file_27
file_28
file_29
file_30
file_31
It tried.
Matilda Love@dramforever if crc32 is so good why isn't there a
Epsi@0xabad1dea eh?? the ones I use only does that when I duplicate a layer, otherwise it does layer 1, 2, 3 
Halla Rempt@0xabad1dea @epsi So, you're talking about duplicating layers, not copying layers.
You should have said so in your original post. That would have been clearer.
But... You're not speaking for every artist, only you and maybe some others, because... I know from experience that if duplicate layer doesn't use this naming convention, but acts like add layer or copy layer, you will get dozens, hundreds complaints that the naming convention is all wrong, and fix it to copy of layer 1, copy of copy...
@halla @0xabad1dea yeah that thank u 
Also thanks for maintaining Krita, I am a newbie to the software but it's been a very clean learning experience, I think. It is impressive software.

@0xabad1dea @epsi Oh? I'm so terribly sorry. Your light-hearted joke post was, perhaps, a bit too similar to all the messages in the barrage of rants we free software developers have to endure, so the attempt at a little light humor was not too apparent to me.

Nazo@0xabad1dea I'm not even an artist and this one manages to get me. Uggghhh...
PhosphenesBlender does the first one (the right way) but with their File->Save As option.

What everyone wants:
Default: Paste with adapted style (cmd-v)
Optional: Paste without changing style (cmd-shift-v)
What every software gives:
Default: Paste without changing style (cmd-v)
Optional: Paste with adapted style (cmd-shift-alt-?-t-num-print-v while holding right mouse button and stop breathing)

Miko Blissful [he/fae]@0xabad1dea as someone who works with layers, it hurts so much how this is so true

Not inkscape. I believe we say layer2679, layer2682, layer2692
Bad Opinion Guy@0xabad1dea same thing applies to security :P
layer 1
layer 1(1)
layer 1(1(1))
layer 1(1(1(1)))
@0xabad1dea it's sad how fast-paced Mastodon is, because i could come up with some real monstrosities given 48 hours
Tim McCormack@0xabad1dea ah yes, peano numbering

@0xabad1dea i think krita does something like "copy of layer 1"
i forget, i wrote my own gooberish krita plugin that rewrites layer names for me so i can get "layer 1 copy 01" (with an incrementing number for every copy) instead
