I have many active filters in views for "Taxonomy: Term ID (with depth) exposed"

And they all look the same in user interface when editing views. No distincion between them.

I plan to add more filters and it will be worse.

Please see screenshot.

what should be taken as criteria for the naming? The selected vocab?

Should it be the vid or the vocabulary name.

I suppose vid is a number, would be better if smth readable as vocab name.

The problem that there is not a lot of space left.

maybe we could use just first 2-3 letters of a vocabulary?

This isn't the only place that this has become an issue. I've particularly seen it when doing crazy things with Panels, where you run into multiple instances of the same field with slightly different uses.

I think we need a ui name field so that administrators can, when needed, provide their own indicators of what a field is. Since there is a generic ui_name() method, it seems like it would be trivial for handlers to check this field and, if it's populated, use that instead. Adding the field to the base handler should also be relatively easy.
