Is it possible to remove old code like copyFromName(), setCopyFromName() and findNodeByName()? Probably, map the name to the uuid right during the loading in KisKraLoader or KisKraLoadVisitor. Is it possible? I think keeping this old code might play a negative role in a long-term plan =)

I can imagine some hacks which would allow to know uuid of that node (search for existing node with the same name, if found get uuid from it; if not, write to a map that node with required name should have special uuid), but they would be definetly worse is long-term plan.

Well, then you could leave KisKraLoader as it is but encapsulate the clone information into a separate object like:

CloneInfo {
public:
    CloneInfo(const QUuid &uuid);
    CloneInfo(const QString &name);

    KisNodeSP findNode(KisNodeSP rootNode);

private:
    QUuid m_uuid;
    QString m_name;
};

And store this object in clone layers. This would remove all the duplications from the layer's code and remove findNodeByName/ByUuid duplicated cycles from the loader. The loader would create clone information from information it has in xml. What do you think about this solution?
