How to pre-setup the Hide connector option in all users?

[Mauricio Moya (Arquesoft)]

Hi. I have an environment with a db-centralized repository and more than 100 users of EA. We have discovered that the first time they try to delete a connector (with the Supr key), some of them select the option "Hide the connector" and some others "delete the connector" and also check the "Don't ask again".

Then, in the normal diagramming operation, sometimes they want to hide a connector or delete it, but pressing the Supr key will be always hide/delete based on the first time selection.

Is there a way I can set in the windows registry or some EA file the option "Hide the connector" and "don't ask again"? (I can broadcast a registry configuration easily)

Just check that yourself ;-) Export the EA-keys in the user section (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems) with the default. Set the option as you described. Export again and compare the difference. It's probably somewhere in the sub-key \EA400\EA\OPTIONS...

Thanks! I found it!
The registry is \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS\CONNECTORDELETE_SUPPRESSDLG
The values:
0=Shows the window and ask the user
1=Don't show the window.

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS\CONNECTORDELETE_DEEP
Values:
0=Hide connector
1=Delete connector
