OK now we have common understanding on slide pane, navigator, slide name and
also slide title.

I also can change slide NAMES in slides pane and see the slide NAME in the
navigator.

For me the navigator (in Impress) was always a useless tool because I could not
see more than slide 1, slide 2,...  I never used it because the slide pane
offered the same numbers plus I could see the slide to a certain and sufficient
extend

When I loaded once a presentation, which was created in MS PowerPoint and the
Navigator was on, I suddenly saw the slide TITLES in the navigator window. And
this made a lot of sense to me. So I tested around with old and new Impress
presentations. My conclusion was that we have bug in Impress because I could
not see the slide TITLE in the navigator. 

Now, I understand a PowerPoint and Impress difference: PowerPoint assigns the
slide TITLE somehow to something which Impress interprets as slide NAME and
shows it in the navigator. Impress differentiates between slide TITLE and NAME
and shows only the NAME in the navigator.

As I see it now, assigning NAMES to a slide doesn't is of no help for my way of
working in presentations. There might be reason for the differentiation between
NAME and TITLE, I just don't get it yet.

Leaving the usefulness of the above-mentioned differentiation for the sake of
discussion aside, I would now rename my bug report into an enhancement request:
Please enable the navigator to read and display the slide TITLE because then
one has a long list of slide TITLEs, which help to navigate quickly through a
large portion of a presentation. (The navigator window can show about 40
slides.) With such a functionality the navigator would be an alternative to the
slide pane with different features. However, I would also include in the
enhancement request the functionality that slides can be dragged and dropped in
the navigator to change the slide sequence in the presentation. I regard such
an enhanced navigator as great tool and would use it, working situation
depended, with or without the slide pane. 

What do you think about such an enhancement request?

PS
I think with this comment also your comment 7 is covered.
