Support for enabling/disabling this through an XML system property file is being added for 3.0.

When our next release is available, you’ll be able to drop such a policy file alongside the Swift.exe file in your install folder to change the policy. The following XML, saved as system-settings.xml in the same folder as Swift.exe, 

<settings>
  <disconnectOnCardRemoval>false</disconnectOnCardRemoval>
</settings>

will prevent Swift from disconnecting on card removal.
