*Specifically, did you download it fromhttp://dia-installer.de/download/index.html.en <http://dia-installer.de/download/index.html.en>or was it from another website?*
*> I can see how it also is wiping every other program* *Excuse me for asking the following. I use Linux and the process isdifferent.How did you notice, does the uninstall mention each file being erased?What files raised your attention?* *> wiping every other program I had installed on that drive* *So, not on your whole computer, just one drive? Sounds weird; never seenthat before...I am assuming you uninstalled it by using the control panel, is thiscorrect?If this was the fault of the installer/uninstaller I can assure you thisis considered grave by anyone around, but we need to replicate theproblem to find the root cause and provide a fix.Thanks.* Yes it was from that site I believe. I saw in the uninstall window how it was deleting a scrolling list of files, first it was the files belonging to the program and later I started recognise other files from other programs like Fruity Loops, WinFF and Neverwinter Nights 2. Yes, I have my OS on a SSD and the rest of all stored data on a separate drive. Yes, I went to the control panel, clicked on uninstall a program and chosed Dia. *To complete on usability: Dia goal is to design general logical draws such as diagrams and charts (there are other programs if you need a specific diagram task, such as UML design, but Dia offers flexibility and programatic I/O you can extend yourself). Dia has nothing to do with a general drawing program. Take a look on its homepage and online documentation.More generally, the only good way to find a program which fit your needs is to take a look at its homepage and documentation (with except for: you benefits a software package system with convenient metadata, index and search engine, what you find for years on most GNU/Linux general purpose distributions).<rant>I know there are plently of bulk download sites, plently of freeware, adware and footware, and they generally sucks on any side but display ads. Don't blame a program [making bananas perfectly]: shame is on download site [claiming dishonestly that program did the strawberries you want].</rant>Regards,Thomas HARDING* Thanks for the tips, I've settled with an online tool for now. Yeah, I've come across it before. I apologise if I was a bit rude earlier, but I was pretty upset when realising I had to reinstall every program. 2014-01-29 Thomas HARDING <[email protected]> > On 29/01/2014 21:35, Octavio Alvarez wrote: > >> On 01/29/2014 12:27 PM, Beatrice Nilsson wrote: >> >>> I don't know which version of Dia I tried to use, I just clicked >>> download on your webpage yesterday, 28/1.
