Re: File corruption when using dia 0.94 on windows and linux

Diagrams that have been edited on a Windows computer are corrupt once
I try to use them on Linux.  I get various error messages trying to
open the files, most of the time they still open but the shapes and
lines are all messed up, but I even have witnessed segmentation
faults.

Without either more specific bug description or a diagram which would
allow to reproduce the misbehaviour real diagnosis will be near
impossible.

For some reason I am not able to reproduce this myself now. It's
possible that I accidently used the older version of dia (0.92.2) to
work on the diagrams before using version 0.94, possibly leading to
the errors (?). It would be a nice feature if dia would pop up a
warning message when trying to parse diagrams that are too new.

Anyway, the error message was something along the lines of  "could not
parse rectangle" and on the the console I could see several messages
complaining about invalid points.

I get a _differerent_ kind of corruption, the layout is correct, but
some of the strings are really really small, almost a line.

We do not use multiline text fields, as described in the bug report.
We use the UML shapes. I attach an example where this happens on my
computer. I saw this happen also on an arch linux box with gnome 2.10,
using the latest stable releases of libraries needed. Same problem.

Export on Windows leads to a crash as already
described in bugzilla.

Bug number?
The bug 150813 talks about crashes on windows. I can't confirm the
register values as I don't have access to a windows machine right now.
The crash happens when using eps-pango, when using plain eps dia does
not crash, but the eps file produced does not contain valid post
script, at least ghostview domplains about errors. And the rendered
result is blank, no lines/boxes at all.
 
Please let me know if you need more information, I will be online this
afternoon working on the project.

It *looks* like using a backup copy of the diagrams we've got and only
working with dia 0.94, using only latin1 eps export might work for us.
At least I hope so. ;-)
