But the numbering on stage stays the same, so maybe it's a better idea 
if I type the fixture number by hand in the name field and uncheck the 
numbering in the stage window to avoid confusion.

I understand. But I can repatch the DMX adress, right.

Might it be possible in a next update?

I don't think it's a matter of preference, it's more a question of how 
you use fades.
It's the difference between an indication and a fact, a 10m fade looks 
just as long as a 4s one in the window.
I like facts when it comes to tight fades.
But that's just my personal preference :-)
