My preference :
The line doesn't need to be thick. Clicking it selects it (and shows it by
changing the color, maybe making it thicker as well ), pressing delete
removes it.
Handles of some sort to create segmented patch cords would be nice. As would
the ability to rotate a client box over 90 degrees, so you have the
connection at the top and bottom.
Another feature could be symbolic link objects. Sometimes you have a signal
detour to some part of an app that is somewhere else on the graph and
allready heavilly connected to all kinds of other stuff. A symbolic-link to
foo:input12 foo:output12 could be nice then.

What's the best way to disconnect ports? I've
thought of:
- putting a handle in the middle of connection lines, so you can
right-click them to get a menu
- making the lines really thick, same deal as above
- just being able to right click a port and disconnect all connections
(with the obvious disadvantage of forcing you to maybe disconnect
something you don't want to)
- clicking on the source port then the dest port (just like connecting),
except if they're already connected, disconnect them
Ideas? Opinions?

I think clicking on a line is just far too difficult to bother.

Whew, now this is getting complicated. :) These things are nice in
modular synths, but wouldn't it be overkill in a patch bay?
I guess with LADCCA you could have a really complicated setup that you
want to be able to visualize as clearly as possible... I'll put some
thought into it.

Have you tried pd? It uses this system. I find it very fast and intuitive.

hmm. i don't like this symlink idea. kinda kludgy to me, but that's
surely a matter of taste.
how about a feature to collapse an arbitrary part of the graph into
a black box? rubber-band a couple of jack clients, press
ctrl-something and you get a blackbox with all inputs that
originally went into the subgraph and all outs as well, which is
labelled by default with a simple list of the clients inside,
regardless of their ordering.
just an idea...
