Getting the name of an entity/component

[Amerio.Stephane]

Hello,

I can't find a way to get the name of a IG Entity or Component (as, the name written in ig_config.xml). I was looking for something like Entity::getName().

Note: the corresponding node name is typically something like "ig_entity_dummy (id:XX type:YY)". Suggestion: Why not using the entity registered name in this, instead of the "ig_entity_dummy" when it's available?

Use case: users want to display the name/id/type|dis_type with the Visualizer for debugging their simulations.

Thanks!

Hello Stephane,

Thank you for the idea. This doesn't look like a hard to implement, but at the moment our schedule is really tight. I think there's no chance that we'll extend API in the initial 2.11 release.

Just for the reference, internal id for your request is IG-262.

Thanks.
