Title:
  no image dimension pop-up window for png export

Status in “dia” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dia

  When exporting a PNG Cairo picture, a menu should pop up with the desired 
image dimensions.
  This does not happen now with Dia 97-2.  What happens now is that a PNG image 
is generated with default dimensions that are too small by a factor of at least 
4,  causing most of the image detail to be lost.

  A work around is to using PNG(anti-aliased). In this case, a size popup 
appears and you can specify the image
  size. The default values given are too small by a factor of about 4 and you 
have to increase the number of pixels.
  The default values should be calculated based on the smallest features in the 
images, probably fonts. 
  A reasonable value would be 1 point of the font should translate to 1 pixel 
in the export image.
