DIA is a great program. But after using it, I have noted two ares where
there is need for improvement.

1) When DIA saves out the information in the native format, layer
information is lost. I would like to see the native DIA format support
saving layers just like the GIMP program. That way, if I save a works in
progress, I can reload it and edit the layers as necessary.

2) DIA automatically opens a saved file in a "best fit" mode. If I have a
works in progress and want to expand the canvas, my only option is to
resize by zooming to a smaller scale and adding the new layer. Eventually,
that scheme will run out of steam because the objects will become too small
to properly manipulate. I would like to see a "expand canvas" option which
would retain the current zoom level, but add more canvas accessible by the
scroll bars. Plus, one should be given the option of specifying which
direction to expand into.
