Connector tool needs its own style (wishlist)

[Brynn]

Hello,
I think the Connector tool should have its own style options, like all the other tools. In other words, in Inks Prefs > Tools > Connector, should have Last Used Style or This Tool's Own Style choices, like all the other tools. (Take from selection too.) Especially to be able to set a stroke width and color, even if those are the only choices, would be nice. It's annoying, on even a very simple flow chart, to have to change those for every line.

Thanks for listening :-)

PS -- I'm not sure if it matters for a wishlist report, but I use 0.48.4 on Win7, 64-bit. Steps to reproduce: double click on Connector tool and you'll see that you can't set the style. Not even the default last-used style works for Connector. ta

My team is about to embark on a very large group effort, eventually involving about 500 boxes with two or three connectors each. The boxes need to have the same fill, stroke, corner style (not to mention the text flowed into them), which is relatively simple to accomplish. But the connectors all need to have the same style as well - arrow, thickness, color, corner curve, etc.

Ideally we would be able to pass around the same configuration file to make sure we are all working in sync. There may be other tools more useful for this problem, but I don't know of any that work across the different platforms - especially supporting SVG.
