Is there a tool to merge together two bones ofter splitting?
Also, I've been trying to use the split segments for bones, but it still only splits the bone into two pieces, instead of the segment amount. Am I missing something?

hey You are right... it use to split by number.
There is no merge back.
We need to let them know this

It doesn't seem very difficult to merge two bone :p

If you have :

_____bone1
________bone2
____________bone3

then select the bone 1 and hit the + key, then move the tip
of the new bone on the bone3 tip . Delete bone 2 et 3 et voila !

Merging would be very helpful, because then the tip of the bone wouldn't change position.

About the segments: Then it's a bug, that it isn't working?

Actually, that was an oversight on my part. That control was in place for future development, and I never removed it from the current releases. I think this may be the first time that anyone's reported it, so I hadn't realized until now that the control was there.
