Show block ID in the GUI file list

asked Mar 29, 2017 in Wanted features by Chris38 (220 points)

The PlantUML GUI currently shows the output file name, the name of the source file, and the number of entities:

file1.png [file1.txt] (2 entities)

Would it be possible to show the block ID (if present in the source as in @startuml(id=diagram1)) next to the number of entities, to help find a specific diagram? For instance:

file1.png [file1.txt] (2 entities, diagram1)

Thanks!

Nice and easy suggestion!
This should be ok in last beta:

Thanks,
I tried it in beta 15 but I don't see it.
I should also add that this would be good for all types of diagrams, not just one with entities. In fact, it might be nice too to show the diagram type as well, if this is available to the viewer, in the file list

Thanks again, I am just starting just PlantUML (how did I miss it all those years!) and me and my co workers are really impressed!
