Currently, dia can not convert diagrams to other file formats from the
command line when the target file name does not end in a normal extension.
For example, dia can convert foo.dia to bar.png using:
dia -n -e bar.png foo.dia
or from foo.dia to foo.png using:
dia -n -t png foo.dia
However, I can not do the following:
TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/image.XXXXXX`
dia -n -t png -e $TMPFILE foo.dia (output does not end in .png)
Enclosed you should find a proposed patch. It should make it so that
'-t' and '-e' are not mutually exclusive. I would be very interested
to hear comments about my patch and alternatives.
