How to Unpin a connection?

[Paolo F Cantoni]

On the Start Page, one can pin a connection onto the Pinned list.  But there is no way to unpin a connection but retain it.  You can only delete it (as far as I can see).  Is there any way to unpin?

We need to unpin it because you can't see the connection details on the Recent list. For some unknown reason, the menu options on the two lists are quite divergent. So, if we want to investigate any connection problem, we have to move the recent entry to the pinned list.

I'll submit a feature request.

+1. I recently bumped into this one as well. Quite annoying.

For me if I RMC on the pinned connection there is a "Remove" option
I'd post a picture, but you know

The main point of Paolo's request was to retain the connection, but simply unpin it. (so it moves back to recent)
The remove option simply deletes the connection.

Wot 'e Sed!  And as Geert said it's quite annoying that you can't!

A workaround could be:

• Pin the connection
• Note the connection details of the pinned connection
• Delete the pinned connection
• Re-open the connection using the details of the pinned connection to get it added to the recent list again

This is a bit clumsy so I would also definitely support the feature request!

lol, I see what you mean.


"Remove" should mean the pinned model reverts to showing up in the recently used list.


"Remove" is very badly named, it should say "Delete and remove all evidence that this model was ever opened by EA"


Note you can edit the connection details to copy them.
Its then hard to know what to do with them (tip: paste into the Open with "URL" field)
