Sorry for this delay. I am currently very busy and this is a quick sample, perhaps a little bit out of date. I will try something better next time if it is interesting for somebody. Feel free to show the attached file to anybody interested if there is.

Hope it serves as an answer. Ok, so the loading is not a problem anymore.

Anyway, I would like to ask you to include this > feature in following versions. That is an interesting feature. Since the name is not used at the moment, it doesn't interfere with other objects. Your code has the name turn up in the statusbar, which I don't think is necessarily the best, I'd actually suggest a tooltip-like popup. But I don't see any fundamental problem with having a way to show the name. I guess the next thing will be a description field:) > I do not know if you are interested in the use of dia I usually do.

While it's an interesting way to use Dia, it seems to go somewhat outside Dia's primary purpose, so there's limits to what I'd tweak Dia to support for it. But I'd love to hear more details, and it'd be great if you could put them up on the Dia Wiki (you can just make a page off of http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Examples) -- there may be others out there looking for how to do that kind of thing. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia ========================================================== "Este correo electrónico y la información que el mismo contiene, así como en su caso los adjuntos incluidos en el mismo, se consideran de carácter CONFIDENCIAL y pertenecientes al Grupo ITP, siendo su distribución restringida y dedicada solo al destinatario pretendido.
