not entirely sure but i think that every Nth (fourth, fifth?) line is slightly darker/wider and when I zoom in to the next level of the dynamic grid the slightly darker line has 'moved' (or disappeared entirely leaving my line snapped to an invisible point). i think there is some need for the heavier major lines to match through the zoom levels. I doubt I am making this very clear, I'll try and explain later with screenshots. > > 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). > > Yeah, that whole thing is broken in menu-bar-mode.

I tend to think of thinks from a Document centric point of view. If you were managing a really large document it might be better not to have the other document in the list. Maybe (probably) there is some benifity to having multiple documents in the list I dont understand. I vaguely recall this feature is similar to a "Document Explorer" feature in Visio, I should look at how that works (I think it could be that it only shows the current document but I really need to check these things) > > wouldn't it be nice to be able to set the default number of sides/points > > on a Polygon/Polyline/Beziergon/Bezier/ZigZagline? > > How would they be laid out by default, then? with the points at regular intervals, by default a five sided polygon would give you something that looked like a regular pentagon.

Feel free to slap me if i neglect to file these issues in bugzilla before this day week. Off to puzzle over Script-fu (of the GIMP) for a while longer, driving my self nuts trying to write a little lisp/scheme this weekend.
