<pre>This affects Impress too - Version of LO is 5.4.0.3 (Linux)
It seems that Connector is hard-coded to use the Arrow Style "Arrow"
automatically when first put on the drawing/slide.
Assuming this, I've managed to make a workaround:
1. Click on menu "Format > Object and Shape > Line"
2. Click on tab "Arrow Styles"
3. Just click on button "Save arrow styles", you will be asked for a location
to save "standard.soe" XML configuration file. Default location is
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config. Save the file and remember the location.
4. Open the file with default plain text editor, or XML editor. There are a lot
of <draw:marker ... /> nodes in it.
5. The trick is that Connector always uses the arrow defined by node with
draw:name="Arrow". You can switch this name with any other node you want as
default Connector Arrow Style.
For example, I wanted the "Symmetric Arrow" to be used as default, so I
switched entries:
<draw:marker draw:name="Arrow" svg:viewBox="0 0 20 30" svg:d="M10 0l-10
30h20z"/>
and
<draw:marker draw:name="Symmetric_20_Arrow" draw:display-name="Symmetric Arrow"
svg:viewBox="0 0 1131 902" svg:d="M564 0l-564 902h1131z"/>
to:
<draw:marker draw:name="Symmetric_20_Arrow" draw:display-name="Symmetric Arrow"
svg:viewBox="0 0 20 30" svg:d="M10 0l-10 30h20z"/>
and
<draw:marker draw:name="Arrow" draw:display-name="Arrow" svg:viewBox="0 0 1131
902" svg:d="M564 0l-564 902h1131z"/>
I'm including the complete modified "standard.soe" file in attachment.
Now I have my Connectors draw out as desired.
This is not a replacement for full implementation of Style Management with
Connectors, but it will make waiting for it to happen easier.</pre>
