As an editor I have to manually give each block a type name aka, Image, Video, Function etc.

We currently do this on our site in the on creating event but can do it on publishing event if that is how you want but here is the code we use.

  // Added for Editorial Team: creates display name(block type) : block name.

  private static void ContentEvents_CreatingContent(object sender, ContentEventArgs e)

  {

      if (e.Content != null &&

          e.Content is BlockData &&

          e.Content is not MulticolumListLayoutBlock)

      {

          var contentTypeRepo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentTypeRepository>();

          var contentType = contentTypeRepo.Load(e.Content.ContentTypeID);

          e.Content.Name = $"{contentType.DisplayName.Coalesce(contentType.Name)}: {e.Content.Name}";

      }

  }

You work really neatly, giving each block a name makes the whole work pretty manageable, but I usually do this type of editing on the video and image editing software by WonderShare Coupons. It saves a lot of time and most importantly it is very cheaper in pricing.

Agreed! Our team manually adds this information to the name of every single block we create (e.g. Job opportunities - Accordion block, Handwashing video - YouTube block), which is helpful in the long run but would be much better if this information appeared automatically, or when you hover over a block.
