svg shape import
Hi people, I was wondering how to import svg shapes into dia? On the web site I read that only a subset of svg is supported. Does it means that import fails if the svg shape is too complex? I've tried to import shapes from the Open Cliparts library (http://www.openclipart.org/) which offers many great shapes to make shiny diagrams, but all my trials failed. Thanks for the great work !

You can download Dia for Windows from http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net You first have to download and install the GTK+ Runtime environment and then the Dia for Windows installer. Don't get confused in the download process. You first have to select a mirror server from which you want to download the files. In the second step, the files will actually be downloaded.

Message Header
Hi I am a casual reader of this list, just a thought regarding mailing list headers, it's seems to be common practice (well fairly) common to include the list name within the message subject, e.g my local linux user group has [LUG] In the subject line automatically inserted by the server, it makes it easier to spot messages from that particular list and makes it easier to set up mail clients to spot the messages and move them into a dedicated folder, Is it possible to do the same for the dia list, It is possible to set mail filters by e-mail address. however I have had problems with this when dealing with forwarded messages, and sometimes replies, What are peoples thoughts on this.

Re: Message Header
Paul, like you I too am a "lurker". I wholly agree with your comments. Separating mails into folders works but for people like me who are members of several technical forums it's a pain to go hunting. I like to see my mails on the day they arrive and in one place, recognise the value of each immediately, delete those I don't want (most!) and store the rest for reference and write ups. I've probably deleted quite a few dia mails as spam simply because without the list tag they appear to lack relevancy when looking at 500 or so tagged mails received each day. Adding a [dia] list tag would follow what seems to have become a list standard. Mike A.

Goals for 0.96
So while the last bugs (hopefully) are being beaten out of 0.95, it's a good time to look at what may happen in 0.96. The TWiki page http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/Dia10 has my goals for version 1.0, and I figure if I pick two of those, set myself a milestone of one per month, then go to 0.96 release test, there's a better chance that this will actually get done (imagine, a new release within a few months!). The two I'm considering right now are: 1) A different handling of groups -- see http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/GroupDisconnect. This is pretty straightforward and has several obvious advantages (as discussed on the page -- please do comment on it!) 2) Rotation of text elements. While I'd love to have generic rotation for everybody, see http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/RotationAndScaling for why it's not trivial. In the interim, I figure text is the thing that would be the most usable to have rotatable, and it's easy to do without breaking all manner of things. At the same time, it forces us to think about the lower-level aspects of rotation without having to deal with all manner of different objects. These are just my current preferences. I can be swayed to other opinions by eloquent arguments, concise design proposals, or large amounts of money:) I'm of course not going to ignore people who sit down and implement some of the other ideas, though I recommend bouncing designs off of the list first. This does gives an explicit focus for those who may want to contribute to a faster next release: Help me on the two points that are the focus of the next release, and it will come all the faster. -Lars ___ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia

I have in fact looked a bit at it, and it doesn't look like an awful task, there's just a lot of work in it. It is similar to the XFig import in overall structure, but probably easier because of the XML structures. The best route is to make a simple importer at first and expands its capabilities over several releases. Once a framework is up, it'd be a simple task to extend it with another little bit, without requiring a lot of programming knowledge. -Lars ___ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia

I'm guessing that you're talking about properties for generic objects, not just for the UML Component object. The StdProps system defines a number of standard properties, such as string, integer, color, dashes etc. Each object can define a number of these, and they are automatically loaded, saved and settable in the properties dialog. > - how can o explore my diagram ? No idea what you mean here. > - what can i do with a plugin for DIA ? Theoretically anything, but in practice the access to the GUI itself is very limited. The current plugins are just imports, exports, and object definitions. You could do some inter-object operations like checking validity of connections, but nobody's tried it yet, so we don't know the practicalities of it. There's no systematic access for plugins to, say, the menus or the preferences. -Lars ___ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
