A lot of the names can be edited by right-clicking on an item, but some names can't be edited so easily, and even when this works, it is tedious when wanted to give meaningful names to many items. The XML editor could work, but would require a complete find-replace to replace the name. Instead it would be nice if there was a name manager that could show all the name used in a file, what type the name is (group, pattern, image id, etc), and even a preview of the time, and allow renaming it from there and making sure the new name is not used by something else. For example, the name linearGradient3313 doesn't mean much to me in a big file with many gradients. I'd rather name it to be more meaningful so if an item is to use the same gradient, I can more easily recognize it, esp. if it is similar to another gradient. The same goes with other things like patterns, etc, and it would be nice to have an easy-to-use name/id manager for them. p.s Not sure if this is the correct place to send this. Sorry if not.
