replacing picture naming issue
I'm also getting this. We created a project with an effect we wish to use for multiple clients. While we can change the layer name, the image name on the timeline seems baked in and when the image is replaced with a new .png file, the old file name remains on the timeline.
One thing I noticed - if you select the image on the stage (the image is outside of a group) and right click "replace picture>picture from file" the name on the layer then correctly reflects the image that you have replaced it with. If the image is in a group - this does not work. The image replaces but the old file name remains on the timeline. Only thing to do is bust everything out of the group, replace, then regroup. Problem here is if the group has triggers attached to it, paths associated with it, all of that is lost and you have to rebuild from scratch.
Major pain.
