While I'm probably alone in this... working in PowerPoint and Word all
day at work (not my choice), it would be helpful to me if there was a
way to only show a single page instead of multiple pages with page
breaks.  I know the same information is already there but most of my
diagraming needs to look right on one page and this sort of goes back to
how Dia handles scaling in the first place.  I don't know how the
interface would work in choosing between views or how this can be
implemented.  Just an idea to make Dia a little more similar to some
other diagraming apps for users that want it.
