RE: dia Win32 Installer 0.88
there's a new version of the dia Win32 Installer Great! Once again, it's build from Hans' dia Win32 version. It would be nice if someone could test it before the 'official' announcement. ***close: - open dia - new - add an object to diagram - close dia via the standard [x] - modified diagram exists. are you sure you want to quit: Cancel -- main panel disappear ***file format: saving diagrams with texts on several lines include extra character at end of line. see attached files. luccio winsave1save.dia winsave1save.png winsave2save.dia winsave2save.png

IMO the 'normal' way, but there is no localized version of Dia for win32 (that I know of) because I see no need to spend my spare time on using/providing translations which mostly are less useful than the original anyway. Again: patches accepted. The problem is: some people *do* use translated software, and will *not* use it untranslated. We've already got the translations (mostly) done for the X/Gtk version ; I was just wondering whether the win32 implementation of gtk (and friends) provided gettext as well. In which case, I didn't see how to activate and make use of it (this is probably really trivial if gettext has been indeed ported to win32). -- Cyrille -- Grumpf.
Re: dia Win32 Installer 0.88 bug reports
Hi, ***close: - open dia - new - add an object to diagram - close dia via the standard [x] - modified diagram exists. are you sure you want to quit: Cancel -- main panel disappear ***file format: saving diagrams with texts on several lines include extra character at end of line. see attached files. I was able to reproduce these things on win2k, but not under linux. I suggest that those win32 specific bug reports get filed in the dia-installer.sourceforge.net bugtracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=16768atid=116768 instead of bugzilla.gnome.org. I filed these two items already. This should make it easier to keep track of things. For those reporting the bugs: It's nice if you feed the input files, images, etc. in the bug tracker, but some people on the mailing list might prefer if you just send a short note (I submitted such a bug ...) to the mailing list.

Arcs are a bitch to get right; at least they've caused me some difficulties when I added support for them in the DXF import. If the format happens to be able to do beziers but not elliptic arcs, I have some code that can help in the gnome-print renderer. It gives near perfect results (that is, if there is a line connected somewhere on the arc edge, it looks correct when printed). Maybe it would be worth having some of these routines for decomposing some drawing primitives to other primitives in lib/. does one use the translations with a gtk-win32 program ?

I found out that the dia-0.88.tar.gz tarball I released also has some translation problems. Stupid gettext-0.10.36 installed all the translations under the filename dia@INSTOBJEXT@. I will do a dia-0.88.1 release that will be identical to 0.88 except that it will include gettext-0.10.35. James. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.daa.com.au/~james/
