Hello again Please bare with me, I am starting to use Dia and finding various places, where it behaves not quite as I would expect it to...
So, on pressing File->Plugins it segfaults (CVS-snapshot of 23.04.02). Next, I am pretty sure there's a way to change Dia's default parameters, like line thickness, (basis) font size, text padding (common for all objects), but I couldn't find this in docs / mailing list... Just tried - opened a new diagram, selected Flowchart, put a box, changed parameters to line width 0.2, text padding 0.2, font size 0.3. Suddenly the coursor is in a wrong position, and now when I move the box around the coursor leaves a black trace on the sheet... Another problem - if in a box I first type something, then change the parameters as above, and then try to shrink the box to the minimum - the box is far too wide again (now I DO have a freetype support configured in - and yes, it does help to reduce the padding, but you should really in configure.in check not just for freetype-config, but for a version > x.y.z, where FT_Get_Postscript_Name is already supported:-)) Sorry about this flood, I am trying to pursuade my company to use an "open-technology" (XML / UML - based) tool, rather than Visio, and Dia seems to be the best candidate for a replacement, but these small problems, most of which, I am sure, are simple to fix, make it difficult... Thanks a lot Guennadi --------------------------------- Guennadi Liakhovetski, Ph.D. DSA Daten- und Systemtechnik GmbH Pascalstr. 28 D-52076 Aachen Germany _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
