Hi Nick,

> Hooray, Rhino layers are preserved! Nice!!!

Yup, I just got that part working only yesterday, one of the last things I wrapped up before this release.

I figured that would be a pretty useful part to get working!


> *Object name does not transfer to/from Rhino

Ooops, I had meant to do that one as well but I forgot. I've fixed this one up now for the next v2 beta so that object names will go back and forth as well.

Well, currently right-click is already being used for different things than that - right-click on the status (the eye) is used for "isolate" type hide/show, right-click on the swatch is used for setting the active style, and right-click on the name is used for "isolate" select or deselect.

I figure that editing the names and colors are not really done as frequently as these other tasks, so the general plan for that is to have a separate style editor dialog for doing that. I think I'm going to see if I can put some button at the top of the styles section in the browser as another way to open up the edit dialog though, currently you have to do it through the flyout on the properties panel.
