--- Quote --- BTW, is there a notion of canvas or diagram preferences, or templates, sort of like Dia style sheets? It occurred to me today that I have (non-Dia) diagrams in which the diagram holds defaults for the objects. Different diagrams, intentionally, have different rules for fonts, colors, arrow headings, and lots of other things besides. --- End Quote ---
Or default layers that you use in every diagram or a certain class of diagrams. Basically, anything that could be in a template. Templates would be nice. In most Windows programs that use templates (and AbiWord, at least), clicking the New Document icon creates a default document, without prompting the user for a template. Using the menu item or shortcut key prompts for a template. Dia doesn't have a New icon, but I don't think it would be unreasonable to have to pick a template each time you pick File/New or press Ctrl+N. A different extension would be used for templates, so that Dia could scan your home directory and populate the New dialog.
