May be it’s too late, but I think this requests (for SQL Server Integration Services 2005) could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it’s not possible for the RTM.   1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask “Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5” but for a single task   2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I’d like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0)   3) If you open a package and connections to data source are not available, propose to “work offline” at the first failed connection.   IMHO, these features would be very important for developer productivity.
