[gme-users] general preferences on connections/atoms

[Aditya Agrawal]

Peter,
As far as I know you cannot create decorators for connections.

Sandeep,
I can think of a hack that might solve your problem. You can create a
new attribute in the connection class to store the value you want
displayed. Then you can write an addon that will change the value of
this attribute based on the attribute of the connected objects. 

Thanks,
Adi

PS: If you guys don't like hacks please don't attack me :)

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).
