Navigator 6.4 alpha 1 is out

[Geoff Canyon]

I went ahead and fixed this. In my working copy of Navigator the property
is displayed as being "name" but displays the short name. Editing it sets
the name. I made some fundamental changes to the way Navigator works over
the past few days so I'm going to use it for a bit before releasing it.
