I like the current list too, but I rarely do other diagrams other than networking of flowchart. I don't have many shapes. To me, an added "recently-used" list where the last 100 shapes (not lists) are shown sorted by last time starting by the most recent would be great. > Yes, they all are not a beginner problems.

The following link right in the front page would be very very useful: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dia+diagram Also, not sure if dia --integrated is the default in the Windows installer (I use Linux), but making it the default would be a great UX improvement, just by itself. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
