since this technically doesn't have to be a clip, i think renaming this variable to object makes more sense

if (!clip) return;
if (!(clip instanceof window.Wick.Clip)) return;
if (!([window.Wick.Clip, window.Wick.Button, window.Wick.Path].some((o) => clip instanceof o))) return;

window.Wick.WickObjectFile.toWickObjectFile(clip, 'blob', file => {
window.saveFileFromWick(file, (clip.identifier || 'object'), '.wickobj');
window.saveFileFromWick(file, (clip.identifier || /*Clip::f87f8b7d-62c3-4576-a5bb-61ce87768ce9*/ `${clip.classname}::${clip.uuid}`), '.wickobj');

text objects are exportable, but i think it'd be nice if the classname was registered as Text instead of Path.

also, having the UUID and date of export doesn't seem that helpful, and all it does is make the filename extremely long. (especially the UUID - it doesn't help the user at all.) i'd say that unnamed objects are just named clip.wickobj, button.wickobj, path.wickobj, or text.wickobj. if the object has a name, use that instead.

I also think text should be separate from paths, but that’s the way it was coded and it’ll break old files if we separate the two. I think we can change the classname to “Text” in the better, since only internal code reads that

I know, I just put it to get a reference.

That also seems like something good.
