As a user of FME
I would like to have the option for a non-unique transformer name visible together with the transformer type
so I can use transformer naming to tidy up and clarify the workspace without losing information on what kind of transformer it is.
From a developer background, function naming is important. A clear and concise name is generally all that's required for function documentation, and it's something I'd love to see in FME.
Currently:
- Adding multiple copies of a Transformer gives it numbered names like 'AttributeCreator_17' which is ugly.
- You can name a transformer, but the name has to be unique, and you lose some information on the type of transformer used.
- Summary Annotation could be used, but that gives more detail than necessary and isn't very pretty.
