Re: Re: Hide association names in diagram

Hi Jan,

Any help is surely welcome! Please do!

IMHO, this would not require a plugin, since it is only an extra diagram 
notation setting - very similar to the others at 
File->Properties->Notations. Once you get started, ask me to give some 
detailed advice (I added many of these settings).

The best way to do this: please create an enhancement issue, explain your 
intentions in it, propose (or ask help for finding) a way to solve this in 
the issue, and in the end attach your solution to it.
One of the "dev"s (like me) will then try it out and commit it to trunk.

Regards,
Michiel
