Hi,
I have spent the day using Dia properly for the first time in about a
year, and made a list of comments. These are mainly bug reports and
feature suggestions.
[REQUEST] Faster resizing/scrolling of the canvas - resizing even an
empty
document is very slow on a PIII 550 w/ 128MB.
[BUG] Correct zoom scaling - at 100% I can see several pages. 200% is
close
to the correct size.
[BUG] Arrowheads which render correctly. When using Lines the end of
the
arrow extends beyond the end of the line, and when using Filled
Triange the triangle is drawn _underneath_ the line without stopping
the line being drawn to the end first, so only the sides of the arrow
are visible and small arrows are not possible.
[REQUEST] Multiple object selections should be resized etc as one.
Also,
selecting multiple objects and then opening the Properties dialogue
should make the changes apply to all objects, not just one.
[REQUEST] Object Properties should either a) automatically update itself
every
time a new object is selected (not just when double-clicked), or b)
allow the following behavior:
1) double-click on an object
2) change the properties
3) press apply
4) select another object (single click)
5) press apply to apply the changed settings to this object
This allows a single change to be applied to multiple objects.
[BUG] Keyboard controls for multiple selections seems the reverse to GTK
practice - Control should enable multiple distinct selections, Shift
should enable a range selection.
[REQUEST] A keyboard shortcut to activate the cursor when a text object
is
active but the cursor is not.
[REQUEST] I cannot use any fonts other than the core Adobe postscript
fonts
(Courier, Helvetica, Times, etc). I have lots of PostScript fonts I
want to use in Dia but can't.
[BUG] Permissions are not being set correctly when running 'make
install'.
/usr/local/share/dia and /usr/local/lib/dia where set to permissions
751.
[BUG] The page where the top-left corner is (0,0) should be centered in
the
window.
[REQUEST] A non-GUI batch mode - no splash screen, no nothing. Ideally
- a tiny
dia (possibly called dia-convert) that does not link to GNOME, GTK etc
for use on servers.
Regards,
Ross
