This works great. Thank you! I had to set 'InitialValue' to 2 since the title takes up a frame for me. It's really nice to have the numbers. I find it especially helpful when I print out a copy and make edits and then want to input those hardcopy edits to the file. Navigating by slide numbers is a bit faster than searching for titles or (for frames without a title) content text.

I think that might be nice. Indeed we'd have to smooth a few things out. If anyone is interested in working on this feature, maybe we could first ask on lyx-users what opinions are. Scott
