Hi @brightendavid Get the currently active document and layer activity to set a new name.

Below is a real code

from photoshop import Session

with Session() as ps:
    layer = ps.active_document.activeLayer
    print(f"old name: {layer.name}")
    layer.name = "new name"
    print(f"new name: {layer.name}")

Let me know if this works for you

Cheers,
Hal

`from photoshop import Session
"""Import a image as a artLayer."""

Import local modules

with Session(action="new_document") as ps:
desc = ps.ActionDescriptor
desc.putPath(ps.app.charIDToTypeID("null"), r"C:\Users\new_data\plan2\pic_test_file\src.png")
event_id = ps.app.charIDToTypeID("Plc ") # Plc need one space in here.
ps.app.executeAction(ps.app.charIDToTypeID("Plc "), desc)`

I am sorry not express well . look at the example,this is the example file you applyed.the added layer may always have the name src.and I just can't rename the layer .The added layer may not have the attribute "Name".

@brightendavid
I have quickly tested its works, could you please give more context information(python version, photoshop version, and error screenshot)?

from photoshop import Session

with Session(action="new_document") as ps:
    desc = ps.ActionDescriptor
    desc.putPath(ps.app.charIDToTypeID("null"),
                 r"C:\Users\hallong\Pictures\332-3328628_refresh-icon-vector-clipart.png")
    event_id = ps.app.charIDToTypeID("Plc ")  # `Plc` need one space in here.
    ps.app.executeAction(ps.app.charIDToTypeID("Plc "), desc)
    layer = ps.active_document.activeLayer
    layer.name = "new_name"
