Description Jan Bartosz CLA 2008-06-04 06:29:47 EDT 
Hi,

I'd like to know, how much effort would be needed to make connections more configurable in this way:
- drag&drop whole connection(not source or target)
- selecting multiple connections and drag&drop them

so they will behave pretty much like normal figures.

Many thanks in advance!

Best Regards

Jan

As connection parts are always bound to source and target, this behavior may only be realized by handling connections as nodes (actually this is the workaround).

Within GEF4 MVC the desired behavior is already easily realizable (and demonstrated in the example). For GEF (MVC) 3.x, which is only maintained, this would require breaking changes. Resolving as WONTFIX though.
