Why can't the join tool be invoked in some cases
-
I'm trying to join open shapes to get a single path. The join shape tool on node tool context bar is doing that very well, but I'm often finding that it is greyed out and I can't figure what I did before differently (in the same working session) that made it active.

Seems a bit curious, but one part looks like a path but isnt.
Maybe because it is made with one of the curve tools ?Here a video with some description

some picsyellow arrow seems made with a curve tool
(you need to "convert it to curve" than the join will work)
red arrow is a real path

here the ends of two "real" paths

@Subpath thank you very much for looking into this. It makes perfect sense now that I needed to convert the spiral shape to curves

Aha

Your welcomeBtw. the "Extend Path Tool" could also be helpful
in some circumstances by working with Spirals
(should converted to curves first of course)
