Duplicate Naming Gives Nonsensical Increments?

To Reproduce:

  1. Create a Material
  2. Name it "mat"
  3. Duplicate it by hitting "Ctrl + D"

ISSUE: I would expect it to be named `mat_1` if we're using counts that would tie in well with programming/scripting. But I can see why mat_2 might make sense.

  1. Select `mat_2` and press `Ctrl + D` to duplicate a couple times
  2. Then select a couple of the new materials and duplicate them. Eventually you'll get something like:

Expected:

    Hey Donovan,
     
    Bug reports are fine to report here as you can find if other people are experiencing the issue too and others can chime in with their experience to let you know expected behavior. That said, this is not a bug but rather a design choice. Studio will create a duplicate of a resource with suffix "_2" if it is a first duplicate for the resource.
     
    If you'd like duplicate resources with consecutive suffixes (ie.g. resource_3 instead of resource_2_2) you will have to select the first resource instead of resource_2 to perform the duplication.
     
    Cheers,
    Kaitlyn

    I guess I'm just confused by the difference of behavior in the Objects Panel (which behaves more-or-less as I expect)...

    And the resources panel, which doesn't:

    In general if I want numbered materials, Mat6 is more similar to Mat7 than it is to Mat0 - so finding and duplicating the first isn't the most useful to me.

    That said, thanks for explaining the how the design functions.
