Hello Dia-developers! I implemented a patch for Dia yesterday against the Debian/Sarge dia package source (attached in the mail). This patch implements a command-line option to specify which layers to show on exports. Today, I checked out the Dia CVS sources and found out that something very similar was already implemented, --show-layers=NAME,NAME2,... Oops - I should have started with CVS instead :-) Anyway, my patch implements this slightly differently. In the patch, the option is called --export-layers, and specifies a range of layers to export. I.e., --export-layers=0-3 and --export-layers=-3 Will export layers 0,1,2,3 (the lowermost layers) --export-layers=2-4,7 will export layers 2,3,4,7 --export-layers=6- will export layers from 6 and up. I find this behaviour useful since I use the layer feature for slide animations, where this fits well into Makefiles without overly long command lines. Anyhow, would the rest of you be interested in YET another command line option which does more or less the same thing as --show-layers? Maybe --show-layers-range? If so, I could spend some time to rewrite the patch for the CVS version (the patch doesn't apply to the CVS version, but it should be possible to see how it works). If not - at least I've learned to always look at the latest source first ;-) // Simon
