Hi,

When using the option "Show connector lines>only arrows" it's not possible to change the arrow position.

This gets problematic when a node does have multiple connections, because then the arrows start to pile up, making it impossible to look at a node and know how many connections it does have.

The workaround is to change the option to "Show connector lines>for selecion", change the connector position, and then go back to the option "Show connector lines>only arrows".

This request above is sufficient for my use case. Now I will create a second request that is more complex, but would solve the problem in a more general way.

Thanks,

    For small maps this request is quiet usefull, because it easily allows to see visually in what kind of relationship two or more nodes which are close by are. But if there are many realtionships, or if the nodes are to far apart, then a list would be useful. A list that shows all connectors with the following attributes.

    Flow Source node core text Source node Style Connector Style Connector labels
    Incoming, Outgoing text text text All three lables

      The Mapinsight addon has a very smart way to show a list with all those elements, in a compact way.
