Trying to follow the help files and such that talk about creating a duplicate and then referencing the index value.
I just don’t see “index” in any of the paramaters of a duplicated graphic (jpg for example).
What am I missing?
Thank you

hi, good day/night.
“index”? if can you be a little more explicit, I really want to help you, but I don’t remember see a Index Option, or maybe is named diferent on Synfig.
https://wiki.synfig.org/Duplicate_Layer#The_Index_Parameter
The “index” value is exported automatically as “duplicate”, you can rename it as you wish.
Check the sample with snowflake for use with links/converters.
Always check Wiki first
Hi,
Yes, I read what it says, the problem is when I make a duplicate I do not see the parameter, nor do I see it in the Library panel.
Please see attached screenshot which is from Manual.
Why do I not see the index value as shown in my screenshot, after duplicating an object such as a jpg?
Thank you
Just did the test with last version (Dev 1.3.10 Linux x64), all works fine.
Which version/os do you use?
I was using version 1.2.1 Windows. I changed to 1.3.1, same results.
Then I noticed that I had been creating the duplicate layer by right clicking and selecting Duplicate Layer.
The manual actually says to " → New Layer → Other → Duplicate". That worked.
So there are (at least) 2 ways to create a duplicate, and only one works for making indexes. Is that as intended?
Anyway, I should have paid closer attention. Thank you both for helping! Great community here.
