Have names appear in the Object Gallery?

I didn't see this mentioned before, apologies if I just didn't use the right search terms.

I'd like to see applied names appear in the Object Gallery. So if, for example, I create a Rectangle, and then apply the name "Box01" to it, in the Object Gallery instead of just "Rectangle" it appears as "Rectangle:Box01." When I have a layer containing many of the same type shape, or many groups, being able easily to distinguish them at a glance by naming them would be huge.

Thanks.

I think that this is one of the best suggestions for a while! I have always got to click in the object gallery to see which shape is selected to know what is what.

You can click the object name in the Name gallery and it selects that object on the page.

Then you'd have to keep two galleries open, cluttering the workspace that much more. I don't have dual monitors and the Object Gallery is the only one that's important enough to my work flow to be open 100% of the time. My suggestion would make it that much more useful, and in my case at least would be far more efficient use of screen space.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Be nice if you could click on the "Group" designation in the gallery and give it name.

Give any group a name. Then the group you want to know the name of via the layer gallery (without opening the name gallery), Right-click>>Names - and it will show you that group name.
