#42 Place `Store as attribute` checkbox next to instance name
The Store as attribute check box is in the Widget tab. I think it makes more sense to put in in the Common tab, next to the Name field, as it is the name that will be the exported attribute in the genreated sources.
An example of how this improves usability.
I had 10 static text objects, placed in 10 sizers. They just had default names and attributes was not exported.
To export the attribute, I had to continually swap between the Common and Widget tabs to change the name and set the checkbox. If they were together then the process would be streamlined -- just click on the object in the design window (or tree) and the properties window updates with the all the information right in front of me without having to change tabs :)
It's faster to edit the names and labels in the Tree view.

Can't be converted:
ok. That's one way to streamline things, though I still think it's more intuitive/logical for the
Store as attributecheckbox to next the attribute name.I will move the checkbox to the place you suggested.
My plan is also to implement a re-do keyboard shortcut. This way you would e.g. check the box, select the next item in the design or tree window and just hit Ctrl-Y to apply the same modification to the item that is now selected.
It's now in the repository; the branch is GRIDBAG_SIZER as this is the branch that I'm currently working on. In a few days, I will merge it with the default branch.
