Hi

I've been using Dia 0.83 for a couple of weeks and think its great. I am
using it to draw UML diagrams as I learn the methodology and apply it to
a couple of projects. I have some comments about the user interface
which you may already be working on:

1. Dragging a text object leaves a trail of dots on the canvas
2. Double-clicking an object when the Object Properties dialog is open
should bring the latter to the front - it doesn't
3. Could we have definable header/footers with options to incude time,
filename, page, page # of pages, author
4. Could the Object Properties dialog buttons and fields have hotkeys
(e.g. Alt-N for New) - adding a list of attributes is really clumsy at
the moment
5. I want to add association classes to UML class diagrams, but there is
no such object in dia
6. Could there be 5 connection points along the top and bottom of class
boxes rather than 3
7. I would like to be able to change the colour of class boxes as can be
done for plain rectangles

Apart from small issues such as these dia is a really good application.
I look forward to its future development.
