    Very nice tool. I saw the "release to layers (sequence)" layer naming issue and it got my curiosity going on how to solve. I thought I used some sort of script on a project years ago that addressed this very problem but couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was called or where to find it. I did come across this thread on Adobe's forums. The credit goes 100% to Carlos Canto for putting together this script:

    var idoc = app.activeDocument;
    var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;
    for (i=0; i var sublayer = ilayer.layers[i];
    sublayer.name = sublayer.pageItems[0].contents || sublayer.pageItems[0].name;
    }  

    //

    I believe this would solve the problem. Step1: You need to release to layers by selecting the parent layer. Step2: Select the original parent layer again and then run this script (Ctrl+F12 browse to script file and click open). It took a a few seconds but it worked. I'm not sure if this will work with your imported .SVG. Could you give it a try when you have a chance and let me know?

    Thanks again for the awesome tool.

    Hi, this doesn't work with non-english versions of AE. It seams not to be language-universalized. I'm using german version of AE. Please update!

    Hello Werner, sorry for the inconvenience, I'm new to making scripts and didn't know how to do this properly. Right now I'm making some adjustments so I can upload a new version in a few hours. I'll let you know so you can test it.
