Names of objects in animation pane

[Dave James]

This is probably for Shyam - but maybe someone else has an answer:

I am using Shyam's Toolbox (Which is a great add-in, BTW) - and the rename
shape feature is very handy. However, the main thing I was hoping it would
do was also change the name that appears in the Animation Pane. This would
make working with complex slides with many objects and animations sooooo
much easier.

So, is it not possible to change this name at all?

I assume this will be in the next version?

I was also thinking that it would be great to have an object/layer pane -
like Corel PhotoPaint for example - so that the objects can be named,
selected and ordered visually.

And while I'm at it - concerning the animation pane: There needs to be a way
to group animations together so that thay can be dragged along the time-line
together - as well as reordered together.

Doubtful.

Good suggestions. There's a link here to a place where you can tell MS
about it. We're just civilians here. ;-)
