I was thinking of making it more general so any custom shape can have this property when you click the shape .. What I was hoping was to add an ext_attribute flag which allows people to add the URL link to any custom shape: To pick a probably totally wrong notation:
<ext_attributes> <ext_attribute name="NCBIURL" description="NCBI Info" url="http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/blah_blah"; type="url"/> </ext_attributes> That would generate in the .dia File that's got stuff like: <dia:attribute name="custom:NCBIURL"> <dia:url>#http://blah/blah# </dia:url> </dia:attribute> Or something .. The reason this would be useful is now our custom shapes w/ custom data can link to databases/websites and w/ the format above, it would be straight forward to automatically generate the ext_attribute string .. Given the info in the xml file.. If you guys come up w/ a syntax you don't object to, let me know and I'll try and get this done.. -regards, -avi On 6/25/09 1:14 PM, "Maciej Jaros" <e...@wp.pl> wrote: > avijit ghosh wrote: >> This would be of *tremendous* use to us.
