As someone who uses connectors all the damn time, I'd like to toss in
support for... uh more support. :D
I agree! It's a useful feature which could use some love :-)
All best, brynn

As someone who uses connectors all the damn time, I'd like to toss in support for... uh more support. :D They actually slow down inkscape, and the more of them they are the worse it gets. If someone could fix that and bring proper support to svg (even Inkscape's svg 2.0+ that will surely result from continued development) I'm all for it. I know others who also want better connector support as well.

Hi Steve,
What you're looking at there is draft svg specification. Something that wasn't accepted as svg. At the moment, SVG 1.1 and 2.0 both don't have connector support. This specification was spun out into a module because it's not useful to web browsers, so it sits over there waiting for someone to add it to inkscape.
But even if we did, it wouldn't be supported in browsers, it'd just be useful to us. So not exactly useful overall.
What was your plan?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi all,
I want to be able to make an *SVG* connector that doesn't rely on the facilities of Inkscape to do its thing. According to this URL there is such a thing:
https://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/connector/SVGConnector.html#ConnectorE lement
When I make a connector in Inkscape using the little connector symbol, in XML it shows up as a path, not a connector, and it has inkscape:connector-type. When I save as plain SVG, the inkscape:connector-type goes away, and it's nothing more than a line segment.
How do I make a real SVG connector in Inkscape?
Thanks,
