I personally would like to see the working page in a traditional view (i.e. just the main page; this as an alternative, not as a replacement to current implementation) and the zoom with the mouse wheel more soft (fine zoom steps with each wheel pulse, specially when zooming out more than the working page). Right now, when I zoom out and then I zoom back in, I can then never tell where the page has gone and where my drawing is. I don't undestand the purpose of zooming out that much, viewing thousands of virtual pages. The wheel dynamics is not confortable on Windows, so I was curious and tested Dia on my laptop with a Live Fedora. The result was a horror. The zoom was not even a poor linear zoom, but just a few jumps from total in to total out. I am very used with Visio and I find Dia very promising (that is why I started to translate its interface, being now at 73%, will finish it during this year), but "something" feels badly when it comes to move here and there on my drawing. I suppose the reason is related to what I have stated above.
