Bug Description
Inkscape is nearly perfect, put I think that arrows
need some improvements (I use Inkscape for drawing
diagrams).
- ((Duplicate part||Currently the arrows can only be black and you can
only change the color of the line (stroke) but you
cannot change the head or the tail of the arrow
(markers). It would be nice that the head and the tail
of the arrow could change (all the arrow should be the
same color). In OpenOffice Draw arrows work like this
and I think that is the way most users think that
arrows should work.|| https:/
- Using connectors, usually those black arrow markers
overlap with the object, because the connector's end is
in the center of the marker, instead of being at the
tip of the arrow. In OOo Draw it works the way I mean.
- Finally, it would be nice that the connectors ended
touching the object, not the "bounding box" of the
object. Try using a connector on a circle, you will
notice that when the connector is diagonal it doesn't
touch the circle. This feature, would be nice but I
think that is not so important than the previous two,
and maybe is more difficult to do.
by the way, I think that Inkscape is much better than
OOo Draw, even for drawing diagrams. I know that maybe
drawing diagrams is not the purpose of Inkscape, but I
use it and I prefer it to other options!
Thanks for this great program!

added the word markers to the summary for easier searching
there are a few duplicate reports for Arrows and markers but
I dont have time to sort them out at the moment. Your help
would be appreciated.
in future try to keep to one request per report, makes it
easier to manage especially if developers fix one part of
the report and wish to close the bug.
