Export To XML Should Use Name

The export to XML feature should use the name as well as the ID

The screen to select which source to export has the id which is useful if multiple sources are named the same thing, so the developer can distinguish between them, but then the export is only the id. It would be helpful if it had the name also:

[ID][first x characters of the name?].xml

in working with this I noticed, I have multiple sources with the same name and it shouldnt allow that. I got this by just having multiple sources checked out, under same project and renamed them to the same thing. might be because they are checked out together?

in the modal window when exporting to xml, it should show "Name". It might be the name, but its calling it description
