When I was using version 5, all I had to do to name an element was right-click the tag on the left of the XML Editor and select Name. Now I have to select the element, then, on the Menu bar, select Format | Name.
I checked the help, and it looks like that's Flare's recommended workflow.
Is there any way to name elements quickly (like I did in good old V5)?
If not, any idea why MadCap made the change?

Re: Naming elements in V6
I got nothing. Seems to be quite a few GUI menu changes. Most of which I see no reason for.

Re: Naming elements in V6
It wouldn't be so bad if there were a keyboard shortcut for it. With single elements you don't need to select the element before going to Format > Name, but if you want to name a parent element (<ol>, <ul>, <table>, etc.), then you have to select that parent element first, then go to Format > Name.
I submitted a bug report asking for the Name option to be added back to the right-click menu. Make sure you do the same at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx.

Re: Naming elements in V6
Can you name multiple elements at once doing this? If so, it makes some sense to me. (Though I don't know why they removed it from the context menu.) Naming multiple elements at once would be very nice for me.
