Bug 60331 – Object properties should handle multiple objects

["Sameer Sahasrabuddhe" <sameerds gmail com>]

Hello,

The current state of this bug is that properties of a group of objects
are handled correctly. The thing left to do is handling properties of
multiple selected objects, that have not been grouped. The problem
arises in app/commands.c, where properties_show() is called ... the
selected objects are stored as a list in DiagramData, but the function
is passed only the head of the list, and all other selected objects
are ignored.


The solution is to pass selected objects as a single collection
properties_show(). IIRC, the new version of group will solve this.
What is the status of newgroup.c? Should we wait for this to replace
the current group implementation, or instead come up with a
"DiaContainerObject" whose sole purpose is to forward all function
calls to the objects that it owns?

Sameer.
