Select Menu Option Question

2007-08-09 Thread Mark Dexter
Hi. On the Select menu, there is a radio-group option for: Replace, Union, Intersection, Remove, Inverse. I have played with these and I can't get them to do anything. If they do something, I'd like to add something in the help documentation. I'm working on 0.96.1 on WinXP. Thanks. Mark Dexter __

Links in Documentation

Hi. In the Authors chapter, the links for GNOME Documentation Project ( http://www.gnome.org/gdp) and GNOME Documentation Status Table ( http://www.gnome.org/gdp/doctable/) don't work. Are there new URL's for these or should they be removed from the documentation? Thanks. Mark Dexter __

Hello again. As I've thought about it a little more, I am worried that some users will be annoyed by option (1). Users don't like changes that "break" something that use to work. So I'm now thinking that option (2) or (3) might be best. Would it be feasible to allow the program to continue to work

I think option 1 would probably be the best. However, I'd offer another method as well - double clicking on the item to start editing the text. I know this currently brings up the properties - but I feel normal users are much more likely to want to edit text than change the item properties. I'm

I think this is a very good idea. That way you could use the mouse to select text and copy / paste would be more intutive. I think that (1) would be fine. If you put an option for "Edit Text" on the right-click context menu (when an object is selected) and/or on the Edit menu, then people could fin

UI issue: Text edit mode

2007-08-09 Thread Lars Clausen
I'm strong considering splitting diagram editing into a "normal" mode and a "text-edit" mode. It will allow for more powerful text editing down the road, use of more shortcuts in normal mode, avoidance of the "Delete destroys the object" in text-edit mode and more. While I have no problem with ho
