The thing is: this system is designed for a situation where you have more than connection shape. It looks weird because we currently have only one connection shape instead of a rich set of connection shapes; but compared to having a connection tool that allows you to connect two shapes & then select a connection shape from something, it's much more usable. What's wrong in koffice (apart from not having enough connection shapes) is that you need to double-click the shape so the path tool gets activated. Adding a connection tool would just mean that you need to select that tool. I think the default tool should allow the user to drag the endpoints to the right place. Additionally, we need much richer feedback for connection hotspots. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
