Within the old 2d editor, while going over objects to place the object name would appear within a text string at the top right of the selection window. This was a lot of help with items added via mod that may not fit the expected format to display a correct name.
In the new Eden editor there does not appear to be a way to see the name of the object you are going to try and place from within the object listing.
See attached png showing both 3d and 2d listings.
Perhaps if no name is present the object listing could display its file/object name?
Hmm with the lack of votes I guess no one else finds this a issue? With the number of missions I do make for our group, I am running into this much more often with the 3d editor now, and I would hope it would be a small change to help address.
I have added a second example screen shot "New_Example.png". Note the item on the left 'Shoot house - Wall' will show a name within the editor placement list, but the item on the right will not as its name is blank. In this case, the class name should be displayed, the item that shows on the second line when you mouse over the object within the editor after its been placed.
