Lars, Those are pretty much what I was looking for also, but I would love to see Microsoft Visio XML importation. I have several documents that are in MS Visio and this would help me greatly.

The TWiki page http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/Dia10 has my goals for version 1.0, and I figure if I pick two of those, set myself a milestone of one per month, then go to 0.96 release test, there's a better chance that this will actually get done (imagine, a new release within a few months!). The two I'm considering right now are: 1) A different handling of groups -- see http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/GroupDisconnect. This is pretty straightforward and has several obvious advantages (as discussed on the page -- please do comment on it!) 2) Rotation of text elements. While I'd love to have generic rotation for everybody, see http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/RotationAndScaling for why it's not trivial. In the interim, I figure text is the thing that would be the most usable to have rotatable, and it's easy to do without breaking all manner of things. At the same time, it forces us to think about the lower-level aspects of rotation without having to deal with all manner of different objects. These are just my current preferences. I can be swayed to other opinions by eloquent arguments, concise design proposals, or large amounts of money:) I'm of course not going to ignore people who sit down and implement some of the other ideas, though I recommend bouncing designs off of the list first. This does gives an explicit focus for those who may want to contribute to a faster next release: Help me on the two points that are the focus of the next release, and it will come all the faster. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
