Missing range names when splitting networks time-based

[bockthom]

Description

The function split.networks.time.based (i.e., plural version networks) has inconsistent behavior regarding range names:

If sliding.window = FALSE, the returned list of networks contains range names as the names of the list.

However, if sliding.window = TRUE, there are no names attached to the returned list.

This difference might be caused by the two different function calls here (within split.networks.time.based) :

coronet/util-split.R

Lines 644 to 650 in 751b72f

	if (sliding.window) {
	nets = split.network.time.based.by.ranges(network = net, ranges = ranges,
	remove.isolates = remove.isolates)
	} else {
	nets = split.network.time.based(network = net, bins = bins.date, sliding.window = sliding.window,
	remove.isolates = remove.isolates)
	}

While the output of split.network.time.based seems to contain the names, the output of split.network.time.based.by.ranges does not contain the names. However, I am not sure where we actually loose the range names –– split.network.time.based.by.ranges internally calls split.network.time.based.

Versions

At least, the most recent version 4.4 of coronet is affected, and also the current dev branch still contains this inconsistency. I did not check whether we have introduced this inconsistency in version 4.4 or whether this has already been present from the introduction of function split.networks.time.based on.
