I'd like to suggest a change to the thing...
that adds numbers to your costume names.
I'm pretty sure this is used to prevent two costumes from being the exact same name, but I think it could use some reworking. For example, if I make a costume titled "test2", and I don't already have a costume titled "test1", Scratch decides the number 2 is stupid and changes costumes test2 to "test1". If this "feature" is used so that costumes won't have identical names, shouldn't it only change the name if it is ACTUALLY being used by another costume?

I agree, it is really annoying. A way to get around it is by adding a "_" to the end of the costume name though.
EDIT: Heheh, that looks like a face :3

It can be extremely annoying, especially when naming large quantities of costumes.
My method of getting around this "feature" is by prefixing the number to the beginning of each costume name, but it still can be very time consuming.

I like this idea because when I try to name a costume "10" or something with 10 at the end, it changes it to 11.

I wonder if they've already fixed this.

This is a very annoying 'feature'.

Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

Support! Also, whenever you make a number name, it always adds a 1 at the end of it.
