what every artist wants:

layer 1
layer 2
layer 3

what every software gives:
layer 1
layer 1 copy
layer 1 copy copy

@0xabad1dea eh?? the ones I use only does that when I duplicate a layer, otherwise it does layer 1, 2, 3 
@epsi you are describing the thing I am talking about

@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. 
@halla @epsi you are taking this post 100x more seriously than intended
@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.
