Greetings, John Bale via dia-list! > Hello,

To myself, imported images have too many unneeded(unwanted!) connection points. > Creation of custom shapes works.

Yes, that was always a suggestion, but never implemented to my knowledge. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, May 1, 2019 13:56:32 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
