Hello Bao Niu, It is this way sometimes with open source. It happens most often when there is a clear workaround.
I don't understand your problem, in part because I am not involved with the programmatic use of Dia ever. You may want to make a formal case in an attempt to persuade a developer to undertake this. FIrst step is to enter it in in the Bugzilla system I think. Then it get tracked and seen, whereas a message here is soon just an old message. I think that there is a common method for analyzing whether to make changes. If you work this out up front, you save the developer from working out the details completely. Can you think of any reason why the "problem" may be an advantage in other situations? What are the advantages? Do they extend to other uses? (Shapes other than Database Table?) WIll there be a significant benefit for others beside yourself? Can you elaborate on this? If it is not already in Bugzilla, then you may be the first to have found the need. Provide a Dia that shows the issue, in order to save developer time and possibly error reproducing it. Sorry I cannot help you myself, m On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 1:40 AM, Bao Niu <[email protected]> wrote: > This problem doesn't seem to get any attention:( > It's real and I can't figure out what cause it could be, could someone > please help take a look at it?
