Hi, Surely we can get a good deal of this from using a component architecture (Gnome's Bonobo, or KDE's open parts??) This requires another dependency unfortunately, but heh what doesn't. I imagine in 12 months, everyone will be using one or the other, and hopefully work will have begun on binary compatibility. An approach which could unify UML, CASE, a good editor (not emacs please), and the compiler of your choice could be a real killer app (KDE are closing in here). I realise that DIA is a diagramming package and not particularly a CASE tool, but a nice interface would make all this possible without sacrificing the major goals, of dia. Love the Python interface thang... Sorry for the rambling, something of a liquid lunch!

To permit the integration between Dia and a CASE tool for example, we can imagine a system based on unix pipes and a small macro language. The CASE tool connect itself to the Dia pipe and send elementary commands (Open file, close, put this object at this position...) This mechanism can be also used to implements a macros management feature to Dia... What do you think about it ?
