Quite often when I design jobs I try out different stages and end up delinking them from the active job flow; but I know that sometime during the same development session I would like to use them. I would love to have an enhancement in the Designer that lets you mark a number of objects (just like it does now) but to allow a right-mouse-click drop down option to mark the selected area as inactive so that it remains in the design but is not compiled or marked as a compile-time error. Perhaps the designer canvas could mark this region or objects with a distinctive color to make sure the developer knows that a part of the code is effectively "commented out".
Anyone think that this might be a good idea?
Server/Parallel Designer - mark objects as 'Inactive'

Ray,
but if it is a transform that contains errors, the compile won't go through, or if it has in & out links that don't go anywhere it still won't compile. Sometimes I have a chain (FileLookup -> Transform -> ) that I want to deactivate temporarily without losing the input that I've typed.

Ray - the cut-and-paste across jobs (and projects) is quite impressive and saves quite a bit of development time; but you know how I am .... give me a small enhancement and I want a complete product revamp

I didn't tell you this, but a complete product revamp is coming sooner than you think.
I will take the Sergeant Schultz defence to any further questions on this.
