Thank you. Prebuilt binaries are always a huge help, particularly on Windows. The first sheets, which is the Assorted Shapes does not load at startup. The space where you would normally see the shapes is blank, but if you select the sheet again it loads correctly. I realise adding this option to the installer could be quite difficult but I would really like it if the installer allowed me to choose not to install the localisations/translations. It would save me manually deleting them, and they take up 4 MB (Dia 0.90 only took up about 6MB in total). With previous releases I was able to delete all the translation files I dont need without causing any problems this time it does cause problems which I will try and look into later. The Dynamic grid works well and is a significant improvement, but it makes Snap to Grid a bit more confusing. Really nice to see the preferences Dialog has be redone to use CheckBoxes. If you use the Document Menubar the Input Methods menu is blank (i mentioned this before but neglected to file a bug report). I tried switching Input Methods to Amharic but it failed (dia.exe:4294205835): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'am_et' failed The previous time I tried it Dia crashed. Strange little detail I had not noticed before, the Input Methods menu is missing its tearoff (also missing in 0.91). samples/EML-demo.dia should be removed, as the shapes it needs were removed Am I supposed to have both a libz.dll and a zlib.dll? They have the identical bytesizes. I am reminded of lots of other things including: should the diagram tree just show the current document? wouldn't it be nice to be able to set the default number of sides/points on a Polygon/Polyline/Beziergon/Bezier/ZigZagline? why doesn't the Polyline have connection points on it, and why not replace the Standard Line with single "PolyLine"? ...but they are for another day.
