Change svg: g id to inkscape: label

I made vector art in Inkscape, including layers and sublayers for further processing. I named all the layers in the UI and realized that the final SVG only creates an attribute inkscape:label

with that name, but id

remains generic:

<svg:g id="layer1" inkscape:label="My custom label">

I know I can manually edit the labels in the XML editor, but is there a setting somewhere to automatically use the layer name as id?

I have the same requirement when I create svg for Fritzing because fritzing is not related to inkscape: shortcut. In such circumstances, I can verify that the label contains a valid id value. So I am making a script to save myself the messy and hard work.



Please note that the script ONLY READ "Regular SVG" . https://gist.github.com/TerrenceSun/972ef4eea97f331af1e6abfcafb7c6e5

I am not aware of the setup to automatically use the layer name as id. But why not do it the other way around: if you remove the attribute inkscape:label

, then the layer name will automatically become id

svg:g

in the inkscape UI. The attribute is inkscape:groupmode=layer

enough to make svg:g

the layer element.
