Hi all, since we are at the wishing phase still, I submit here ideas I had while working on the faceplates shapes: * allow the custom properties in shapes specify values as well * allow for hidden and/or read only properties (both overrideable) * sheet properties - my idea here was to have a data 'library' that could be used by plugins - of course, that could mean rethinking what sheets really are ... * grouping properties that could be used to put different groups to their own tabs in the properties dialog I looked into the stdprops and found out that there are MANY property types, but only some of them are usable - it would be nice to have usable types listed in the creating new shapes doc - there is IIRC only vague mention of two types and nothing more. Fixing props like URL to actually work as a widget would help too ;-) Edheldil P.S: since I have mentioned them ... any comments on http://www.eowyn.cz/dia/Racks-Cisco_Routers_ASR_9000.zip ?
