May I offer a noodle? The "many sheets, sire" problem (with apologies to Amadeus) would be neatly solved if: 1. diagrams could be nested, and 2. sheets were diagrams. If that's too ambitious, surely it's possible to put shapes in arbitrary directories and adapt someone's File manager tree view to the purpose? It would be good if users could organize their own sheets, and it would be especially good if they didn't have to use Dia or configure Dia to do so. The problem is not very different from managing a mail store in an MUA. In fact, if there were a standard XML folder DTD, I'd suggest that as a starting point. --jkl _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia
