And personally I would like to see it developed as a core part of Dia itself ... not just a plugin. There are many uses for such a system. 1) The first that comes to mind is changing the properties of some objects. Imagine being able to select "all red lines" and then making them dotted, for example! 2) This would also be useful for improving the properties dialog ... in its current state, the dialog becomes mostly useless if you try to change the properties of a large number of different objects. The box could have buttons that show objects grouped by different criteria, and allow the user to change properties for these selected subsets.
