Oh, well, I thought I meant 0.94. I assumed a pre-release implies bugfixes only, not UI changes. > > In the UI overhaul, I hope Escape will cancel/close dialogs. > > It certainly should.

A lot of that information would wind up in the glade file. Then it's just a smp to map glade's data structure onto Dia's. Not very interesting work, but not hard or inflexible, either. At least, that's the view from 30,000 feet. > > How do we distinguish between defaults for new diagrams and properties > > of a particular diagram? > > Properties of a particular diagram are changed from the diagram. Ah, I see. If you want to know whence my confusion, try this for late-night GUI entertainment: Open File->Preferences->"Diagram Defaults". Then, right-click on the diagram and choose View->"Diagram Properties". Compare. Very often, a user sets a current property and knows then and there that should be the default for future diagrams. Example: paper size. It would be good to work at this from that direction, making the current-properties capable of affecting default values, and using the same or similar dialogs for both purposes. How does that strike you?
