Description

I don't know if this is an issue for anyone else, but my workflow often consists of:

• Add processor to workspace
• Configure properties of processor
• Close processor dialog
• Connect processor to destination
• Note that processor state is still in error mode
• Re-open processor properties
• Switch back from properties to settings tab
• Auto-terminate success/failure relationship as necessary

I think a processor context menu entry "Auto-terminate unconnected relationships" would be very useful. If people feel this could violate the Principle of Least Surprise, explicit entries for "... success relationship" and "... failure relationship" are also possibilities.
