If multiple instances of Desktop Editor are running and you register, duplicate, edit, or delete a watermark, the change is only reflected to the watermark list of the Desktop Editor used to perform the operation.

If you create a watermark with the same name in multiple instances of Desktop Editor, the watermark is saved with a "(1)" added to its name in the Desktop Editor closed last. If the name of the watermark exceeds 31 characters, the last characters of the original name are deleted until the name including "(1)" becomes 31 characters.
