Re: Problem with some dia files on windows




I have just discovered an issue with some of my text objects below
is a string that will not open in dia 94 and 96.1-3&4. The
resolution was to open the file in a text editor and delete the
newlines to make the string occur on one line. This allowed me to
open the diagram.

 From this:
      <dia:attribute name="text">
        <dia:composite type="text">
          <dia:attribute name="string">
            <dia:string>#APF Workstation
with 2 NIC's
1 on HMI network
the other on APF data network#</dia:string>
          </dia:attribute>
          <dia:attribute name="font">
            <dia:font family="sans" style="0" name="Helvetica"/>
          </dia:attribute>

Change the dia:string line to this:
<dia:string>#APF Workstation with 2 NIC's 1 on HMI network the other
on APF data network#</dia:string>

OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
Dia versions: 0.94 , dia-setup-0.96.1-3.exe & dia-setup-0.96.1-4.exe

I use multi-line text strings all the time.  The problem I've
encountered usually are characters that were included in the
original file using a non-text based editor.  I would suggest
that the single-quote above is the culprit.  Try removing it
and open the diagram again.

Bit like the xml should have a <pre></pre> around it ....
