Hello PoWah, As the original developer for the Gane and Sarson shapes for Dia, I've had a look at your problems. Your first two problems needed a bit of work but I believe I've fixed them. I've attached a compressed file - you can extract this into /usr/share on Linux (sorry if you're on Windows!)

When given word docs with images embedded, I use the "Save as HTML" function, which puts the images in a subdirectory there. Toss the HTML and get your images. Now, whether that will work for a Visio embedded image, I don't know. And of course, your output will be a jpg, not whatever it was when i
