Dia extension

2002-11-22 Thread Marc-Philippe Huget
Hi all, I begin to use Dia, particularly to extend it but I have some trouble, I read the documentation but I found it not enough self-explanatory. Please, does somebody try to extend Dia? Adding a new entry in the combo box, adding in shapes directory, in sheets directory, etc. I did it but nothi

I hope I am not wrong but have you noticed that there are two different versions of menus given you use Unix version or Windows version? I didn't find in File menu, the item "Sheets and Shapes" or something like that (sorry I didn't have my Windows version here) under Unix version. Is it normal? B

Actually, MB3 seems to work fine for other features. If I add a polyline and off-click on it, I get a context menu with Add Corner and Delete Corner on it. I guess this is a bug in Dia? Can anyone else get the diagram properties by off-clicking on an empty area of the canvas?
