Creating component loses original layer name

#1

Mac OS X version 10.12.1

I'm using Subform 0.0.0 8afa768 on Darwin 16.1.0 and am having trouble when creating components. Whenever I create a new component the layer name is disregarded and renamed to 'New Component…'. Ideally if I've already named the layer you would want it to keep that name.

Steps to reproduce
• Create box
• In layers rename it to something else
• the right click and 'convert to component'

Results
The layer will have changed from what you called it to something like 'New component G__139' whereas you'd hope it would keep the name you had just given it. I understand this happening if you had not named the layer as a fall-back naming structure but not once you've named it yourself.

I've moved your topic to the "feature" category rather than "bug".
I do agree that it makes sense --- I'll put it on my list.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Done. This will appear in the next release.
The box name will be retained when you convert it to a component, unless there is already a component with that name, in which case it will get an autogenerated default name (unlike boxes, components must have globally unique names).
