Hello, I used your software DIA to create a networkplan for our company. I added some new pictures and saved them as objects in a new sheet. The problem is, that I want to use these objects on an other combuter, too. So I copied the folder ".dia" from documents and settings to the new computer. Now I can see the new sheet, but the problem is, that if I want to add an object to my file I have no picture, because they have a path to a not existing folder. So my question is, where the paths to the pictures of new objects are saved, so that I can edit them?

So my question is, where the paths to the pictures of new objects are saved, so that I can edit them? You'll have to edit all the *.shape files in your .dia folder that have problems. You can use a text editor to edit the files. It's a good idea to backup your complete .dia folder before editing. Do you know the difference between a "relative path" and an "absolute path". I guess that your problems are because the files currently use an absolute path. Moving your images next to your *.shape files and using relative paths should resolve the problem. In short: Remove the complete path and just leave the file name. You'll have to restart Dia once you have finished your edits. Good luck and please let us know if things worked out.

Can you give me a advise to try dia ? the Code Visual to Flowchart website just says "Visio" but doesn't specify if that's *.vsd or *.vdx files. If it's generating *.vdx files: Dia is able to import them. In case it's generating *.vsd files and you're able to operate the commandline, you may want to try vsd2svg to convert the vsd files into SVG. SVG can be imported to Dia or inserted as an image object into Dia. http://dia-installer.de/vsd2svg Regards, Steffen ___ 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

Re: Custom Extensions to new Shapes

I think most cases could be catered for if the following was available (maybe it already is and I haven't seen it) Tne suggested functionality would certainly but useful, I'm pondering the idea to make more use of the Dia "StdProps" type system from custom shapes for a while, but am not aware of any code written to actually do that. Enums and Composite Types - i.e. something along the lines of Enum: MON TUE Composite Type: This would be represented on a single line like this (obviously with current values subsidised): __ |Day: 17 | Month: Sept | Year: 2012 | |___|___|__| For this I'd suggest to add a new type 'date', which would use GtkCalendar for it's widget. Should maybe use GDateTime for the backend - although that would require to bump the minumium GLib version. The general composite case migh still be useful, but doing a good and compatible automatic user interface for it might be hard. The default representation in property dialogs is Description : Widgets see the recently added MatrixProperty for a bad example having more than one widget ;-) Are there any plans do add this kind of functionality? If not could anyone suggest what files I would need to start looking at to add support for the enum type at least ? I've been looking at custom_object.c, but still trying to figure out how all the attributes are parsed and the resultant data is drawn to screen. custom/shape_info.c should do the translation from XML to PropDescription (it currently does so by calling custom_setup_properties()). For the enum type and other PropDescription::extra_data has to be filled. For enum it is a vector of PropEnumData, see e.g. prop_std_text_align_data in properties.h. For other types it would also be useful to fill these to eg. define upper and lower limit. custom/custom_object.c should just contain code to merge PropDesciptions in custom_describe_props(); maybe also modify custom_get_props() and custom_set_props() to split the given properties between existing struct _Custom fields and extended properties. There is a flaw in the current implementation of custom_setup_properties() but I would to think more about it to suggest a fix.
