Here's what I'm thinking: let's say you want to edit all the Titles for all the pages in your project. Currently (as far as I know), you have to right click on the page, Edit Page Properties, go to the Title, Meta Tags tab, enter the title, click ok, and then go to the next page and do it all again. I think it would be very powerful if you could just bring up a (rudimentary) spreadsheet with the properties for all pages, and edit them right there in the spreadsheet. And you could do this, ideally, with any group of objects that shared common characteristics.

Question:
What do you think?

Choices:
Great idea, should definitely be in next release
Good idea, would like to have it in next release
Okay idea, might be nice to have it sometime down the road
Don't care
Lousy idea, don't waste any time on it
Hey, bright-light, you can already do that... (details below)

I voted bottom option.

Right click on any page.

From the context menu, select "Page Order".

Select the page from the list you wish to rename.

Click the button titled "Rename".

Type in the new name.

Click "OK"

postyr, I think that only changes the page name not the Page Editor->Title,Meta Tags Title field.

postyr, I guess I didn't make the description clear. By "spreadsheet-like" I meant a grid of information, the name of the page in column one, and the various attributes of each page in subsequent columns.
Hence the term "spreadsheet-like". Big Grin

Jenko and Larry. You are both right. As usual, I jumped in too soon.

Back to the drawing board.
