What exactly you're missing in current release?
You know, frequent releases do not guarantee product quality?
(Doesn't mean Dia is without flaws, of course. But we all would REALLY
appreciate a more constructive discussion, that "is this no longer
supported?" drop-off.)

>From recent comments, I don't think a new release will be out for some
time.  There is quite active support for it as you will learn if you follow
this mailing list or investigate the archives.  Patches will come available
as they are  made.

However, this is where the beauty of opensource comes in.  You don't have
to wait if you are willing to try your hand at working with the code.

Many things about Dia are customizable - unlike Visio.

When you have crashes try to come with a celarly repreatable situation, and
document it well so others can duplicate it.  This will speed support
responses along.

Keep in mind that this is a volunteer effort.

Re: How to integrate an image permanently

[Michael Ross]

Denis,  As far as I know you need to have the image travel with the Dia
file.

RE: I wanted to know when is the next release? or is this no longer supported

[Zou, Yixiong]

I have the same question.

I am looking for an open source alternative for commercial software like Visio. 
 I've researched quite a few diagraming tools.  Dia is the one that has the 
most of the features that I am looking for.  The converter from Visio to SVG is 
something that's really appealing because we have a lot of existing diagrams in 
Visio format.  But when I tried to use it on Windows, it seems to crash a lot 
for some reason.  I've played with Dia for quite few hours, and everytime when 
I try to create new shapes or sheets it will crash.  I can send out more 
detailed bug report later, but in the meantime, it would be good to know 
whether this is still in active development.

BTW, is there a good up-to-date tutorial on creating new shaps and sheets?  Not 
via the GUI interface, but rather a guide on what each of the XML tag mean in 
the shape files.

Thank you for your help.

How to integrate an image permanently

[Denis Arsenault]

Hi group

 

How to integrate an image permanently, not linked to an external file?

I mean, an permanent image, so the image copy will be resident inside the
"Dia" diagram.
