Greetings, Dave Rawding! > I get the following message after adding a shape, "Several object-types were > named Dia - GS724T". I have had the message before and been able to find the > duplication but this time I can only find one file called GS724T.shape
How the FILE is named is irrelevant. It is a courteous to name the file as the shape is named, but by no means a necessity. What matters is the shape <name/> tag. > The software can obviously find a second version of the file. So can you. > If I remove the copy that I can find then I don't get the message anymore > but I can still use the shape so it's obviously still there somewhere. Right. > Couldn't the error message tell me where the files are that it's complaining > about ? There's not many places, where Dia shapes are stored. I know about two. Program installation directory and .dia directory in your profile. > Also if I need to edit a shape that I have created by modifying it's text > file, I have to close Dia and open it again before the changes take effect. > Is there a way to refresh or purge the system to save re-opening it? You can use other tools capable of displaying SVG to design your shape. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 31.05.2014, <23:38> Sorry for my terrible english... _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
