gephi/gephi — Issue #537: Multiple partition filters not named: cannot tell them apart

We have multiple partitions in a graph (incidentally created to get around the restriction that only one edge between two nodes is allowed: we annotate the edge with values on multiple categories to preserve the parallel edge information concerning the structure of a conversation).

I drag various partitions into Queries, say, ADR, Actor, LEX, RPLY ...

But the Queries list labels each as simply "Partition":
Queries
Partition
Partition
Partition
Partition ...

I cannot tell which one is the query for partition ADR, partition Actor, Partition LEX, partition RPLY, etc. I can't even tell by selecting the partitions, because no further info is displayed when selecting them, and many of the partitions have the same values (i.e., 0 and 1).

I have an image but there's no place to attach here.

Solution: Simply put the name of the partition in the Query list:
Queries
Partition ADR
Partition Actor
Partition LEX
Partition RPLY ...

thanks,
Dan
