I'm using Inkscape 0.42.2 on Windows XP. For some reason, I can't seem to find the connector tool. In the reference documentation ( http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ch02s01.html) the connector is shown between the gradient tool and the eye dropper tool; however, in the application that I'm using, it's not there. If I go to the inkscape preferences > tools dialog, I cannot find the connector tool either. Does the tool not exist in this version? If so, which version should I be using? I've attached a screenshot of my version of inkscape for reference. Thanks for the help, - Dave
