Would be rather useful to be able to disable a connection in the Editor without having to disconnect it. In constructing filters I often have to look at one part in isolation or test what happens if this or that set of inputs is used or not used. But if there are multiple inputs that need to be disconnected, I sometimes lose track where they need to be reconnected. Thus, if a connection could be made inactive (disabled) without disconnecting it, it would be awesome. The connecting line could be a different color or dotted for an inactive connection.

We'll consider this (and similar suggested ideas) for V2.0.

YES, very good idea, and I have found this thread, because I have been having this problem, that for testing some things, you have to disconnect the links but then after you do not know how all these links have been connected unless you take a screenshot of how it was before, but even then it is still difficult on larger filters with many components where the links travel a lot and do not fit inside the screen.

Well, we are now in FF 4.0 beta and there is no news about this topic yet, and would be good if this could be considered again.

Thanks
