Hey Patrick,

I confess, I'm very interested in the new interface - you're doing Dia a great service. Keep up the good work!

I appreciate the encouragement.  This is my present TODO list:

-Add popup message "Settings change will take effect after Dia is restarted" to the integrated UI option.
-Add snap tool items (snap-to-grid and snap-to-object I think) to the toolbar.
-Make the toolbar actually do something
-Make the diagram tree show a diagram's tab (when it should).
-Created Missing application menus.
-Create menu option to make statusbar and toolbar not shown.
-Make the name of second diagram created be numbered 2 instead of 1.
-Make diagram close button actually close the diagram.
-Add shortcut cntl-w for closing the current tab.
-Maybe add short cuts alt-1,2,... for selecting tabs like in GEdit.

I hope to get through this in a couple of weeks.  I'm also open to any suggestions. 
 

Pat.

Hi,

I have made some progress toward a tabbed interface for dia.  It's optional, controlled by a "use integrated ui" option in the preferences dialog.  I don't know how to send a patch.  I've attached a diff of my changes synch'd to the latest svn checkin. 

It's in a half broken state.  Maybe mostly broken.  I think the next thing that I'm going to do is to synch the tab label to the diagram filename.  I just want to make sure that there is interest in this.  I'm excited to do this if it is really going to be picked up by the project.  I'm also happy to accept criticism/advice for the code.  BTW: I don't know how else to show the code unless I zip the files (which I'd be happy to do).

Pat.
