Dia VDX plug-in 0.6

[Ian Redfern <Ian Redfern LogicaCMG com>]

Version 0.6 of the Dia VDX plug-in can now be found at http://www.redferni.uklinux.net/dia/vdx/

This version exports all Dia diagrams, but probably not perfectly. It also fixes a few bugs on import: image alignment, and a pair of crashes. In particular, it can now import files it has exported, though a lot is lost in the process.

NURBS import still doesn't work, but everything else seems pretty reliable. NURBS aren't used for export, as they only work with Visio 2003, so Beziers are rendered using lines.

I'd be interested in feedback from anyone who's used it, and, as always, I'd appreciate more real-world diagrams to try it against. Volunteers to try reading exported VDXes in Visio are also very welcome.

I plan to have a go at approximating NURBS with Beziers on import, and possibly at supporting both Visio 2003 and 2002 as distinct export formats; otherwise only minor layout issues remain.
