Using machine learning, Pixelmator Pro automatically recognizes the contents of images and gives descriptive names to every layer you add to your composition.

Is there a way to disable this feature? It's actually creating work for me, since my original file names are much more descriptive than what Pixelmator comes up with. (Especially when every layer is named "Screenshot", because it is.)

Hey there, there’s a Terminal command for turning this off. Here it is:

defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x enableSmartLayerNames -bool false

Hope that helps!
