The Layer Names are not populating the input dropbox on the layer router.

They are there, as layer 1, layer 2....etc. But when you rename the layers, there is no easy way to tell what number they are. The actual assigned names should populate the box.

This is done to indicate that slices are coupled to layer stacking order positions, not layers.

You can greatly confuse your layer to slice routing by moving layers around in the stacking order. To prevent this, slices take a fixed layer input. A slice will always a layer position in the stacking order, regardless of what layer that actually contains or is called.

I hope that explains things.

Makes sense... You are saying that the router pulls from stack position as in on the gui, not linked to a particular layer?
