I don't remember which version, but an older version I used had a ToC Editor, that would pop open a window, and add/remove entries, rename entries, view nesting levels, etc. I found a copy I still had of 0.2.3, and that version had the ToC Editor I'm talking about.

Window was pretty simple, Was a nested tree list view of the every bit of text that was set as a header, nested by size, and a checkbox to the right. Check boxes were in the ToC, and unchecked boxes were not. There was also a checkbox at the bottom of the window for viewing only ToC entries, so if you had that checked, everything that wasn't in the ToC was filtered out. Also, if you double clicked on an entry, you could rename that entry, without modifying the actual header.

While I seem to be mistaken, as I was thinking that there was a way to add a ToC entry without creating a header, it was far more serviceable than the Generate ToC from Header's option we get now. You kinda get the window in 0.4.x and 0.5.0, when you get the Header Selection window after you get the Generate ToC button. However, that window doesn't give you the option for renaming. Also, in my opinion it is slightly less intuitive tose, especially if you do not have the ToC view up normally. For instance, if I want to add or drop a ToC entry, with the older editor, I'd click on ToC Editor, or press F7, and just hit the check box. Now, I have to open ToC View, click Generate ToC, select those I want to be selected, and then hit ok. If you already have a ToC, and you're wanting to edit it, you may not always think that Generating a new one is what you need to do. Plus, with the loss of renaming, that has to be done by editing toc.ncx.
There is Now another Layer on the TOC editor.

The first layer (that you see) is active. Double click and it jumps to the place in the book. No longer do you need to know which file.
the second layer (that looks more like the original) is accessed by the button at the bottom.
The only thing lost/different is that you must edit the titles in the file. That is easy as you can simply click and jump (from the first level)
