There is a similar thing being planned, but slightly different: The plan is to allow multiple objects to be edited at the same time, but only have the actually changed values change. Right now, if you edit properties for a group of objects, you'll notice that they all change to having all the same properties (try changing linewidth of differently colored boxes in a group). Attempts at doing this right have failed so far, but it's one of my pre-1.0 goals. -Lars -- Lars Clausen ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://lars.raeder.dk) "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
