Hello,
I've been trying to use this technique to maintain a id. I got it right for
"Flowchart - Box" items, but I couldn't use it in (for example) "UML -
Actor". It seems it looses the <dia:attribute name="meta"> node. In other
types as "Flowchart - Off Page Connector", the tree results in
<dia:attribute name="meta">
<dia:composite type="dict">
</dia:attribute>
after saving. Is this a bug?
Thank you very much and, again, congratulations for your good work! :)
