The muscle of a real operating system makes a hack like "print preview" look pretty puny. An even better answer would be to define a fifo for the purpose. If .dia/diarc defined a fifo and an external postscript displayer (say, ggv), "print preview" would be simple to implement: fork a process to write to the fifo, and launch the displayer. Not very different from defining helper applications in your favorite web browser. Or the way Bluefish uses a browswer, or the way.... Sadly, it seems ggv won't read from stdin. If it could, dia could write to stdout and skip the fifo. --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
