[gme-users] general preferences on connections/atoms

[Peter Volgyesi]

The format of the label string is quite restricted. You can only use the 
  attributes of the connection (%attrname%), the kind (%kind%) and the 
role (%role%) of the connection. That's it.
If you want to show something special (dynamic content) on an object, 
you should create a decorator (a short intro can be found in the user 
manual, and a sample decorator skeleton is a good starting point int the 
SDK directory).
