The "port" property for the "Running" server Launcher should be ediatble in the New Connection Wizard, under Launcher Properties. Currently it is only editable in the Subsytem Properties, which means it must be changed for each subsystem separately.
This is probably something that needs to be addressed more broadly. For other server launchers, like the daemon, there are two ports involved. First, there is the port used to connect to the daemon, and then there is the port to use when connected to the dstore server (which is different). The port specified in the subsystem properties is this port, in either case (daemon or running server). This separation has been a confusion for a lot of users in the past so I agree we ought to move all ports to one place. I think we ought to do away with the subsystem port property altogether in favour of something more tied to the connector service. Any other opinions?
There are probably several things other than ports that need to be tied to the connector service rather than the subsystem. If we did this we could probably get rid of the whole notion of a "primary" subsystem. So here's the list so far: daemon port session port default default user id (this is a guess, probably not needed) However, it probably makes more sense to make these items in a "connection" property set rather than part of the common description of a connector service since there are connector services that will need completely different descriptions - eg serial port settings.
Marking as [api] since this changes they way how connection properties are handled, and probably also the notion of whether a "primary subsystem" exists or not.
Not going to be handling this at moment, so I'm lowering the priority.
Not for 2.0
