V2 AD Expand Stroke deletes the layer's name

[Gear maker]

When the Expand Stroke is used, the name assigned to the layer is deleted.  Is this intentional or a bug?  Personally I find it annoying to have to always type in the name a second time so I am hoping this is a bug.

It does that on Windows, too, and in both V1 and V2.

I think it happens because you are effectively deleting one object and replacing it with another.

I think it is intentional. The remaining fill-only object (when there is one) does retain its name because it is just the source object with its stroke hidden by being set to 'No line style', and the object derived from the stroke is a new object.

I guess a request could be made for an option for the new object to inherit the name of the source object.

Thanks for mentioning that. I had never tried Expand Stroke on an object with a Fill, and so had never seen that the Fill survived as a separate object (with its original name, as you noted).
