Short description of error
changing the file format of the file output node in the compositor loses all the input names :(

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
in the compositor add a file output, make a couple of inputs and name them, now change the output format to OpenEXR Multilayer...all input names return to 'image'. Nightmare when you've just set up 20 inputs.

I can confirm the described behavior. I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug or a known issue.

There are multiple comments in the code that describe, why it behaves this way since rB9d91bc38d303e4937bb56dc75d95f11936de5ff9.

/* XXX using two different collections here for the same basic DNA list!
 * Details of the output slots depend on whether the node is in Multilayer EXR mode.

Think this is a duplicate of T54182: File Output node doesn't keep layer names when switched to Multilayer EXR, will merge these reports...
