Real story name in Ghost Story Dialog boxes

I've already sent this item fifty times to GS... am I the only one asking for this simple thing ?

Who needs to know that 5. is a story, 6. is a story, 7. is a story ?

I wish I had a list displayed like this :
3. Roof level
2. Second floor
1. First Floor
0. Terrain
-1. Basement

Displaying the name I chose for those stories...

I agree completely. On a current project I have to remember that 4. Story is the main upper roof, -1. is the underpinning of the lower level, 2. is the mid-level... Very messy.

I haven't sent it in 50 times, but several over the years. The current system is beyond stupid. PLEASE display the names!

Yep, I totally agree. I'm with on this as well.

i don't think it's too much to ask for.

I agree as well.

While we are on the subject. I would like the option of making the ghost story something other than "story above" or "story below." Residential architects typically work on two-story houses. I find myself constantly going back and forth changing the settings everytime I turn on ghost stories. If I am working on the first floor I usually want to see the second floor (story above) as a ghost story. When I am on the second floor it's vice versa (story below).

Geoffroy you have my vote. I'm tired of searching with CTRL5-CTRL6.
The only beneffit from this was that my left hand fingers became a little more flexible...

Oh, and another thing: my TV remote control has a very handy button by which you can swap between the 2 last channels. Just thinking the use of it in swaping story....
