Re: What do you want to do for Dia 0.97?

["Shishir Ramam" <sramam gmail com>]

My usecase -
 - Use Dia (with some custom shapes) to draw a diagram. 
- use Python plugin to generate some data based on the diagram. 
- Export the diagram to PDF for review. 

There are  a few aspects of this simple usecase that can improve -  
1. A shape's default size and attributes are not controllable.
    They are typically too big to fit a substantial diagram on a page. 
2. When exporting #1 requires all kinds of scaling to make the diagram fit. 
3. I've not managed to successfully position the exported image in 
     the center of the page. 

Oh, and upgrading the python bindings would be really nice! 

Thanks for the excellent work.

1. Mass changing of UML class (like changing visibility of comments and
almost everything else on the first tab).

2. Support for keys in UML class. I mean something like it's already
done for "visibility" of attributes. This is available for many CASE
tools and I tend to use Dia as one ;). Main key types could be primary,
foreign and partial. All of them should be visible as icons in the main
view (eg. golden key, silver key and maybe two keys on a keyring). I can
try to make those icons if someone would be willing to implement this :).

Best regards,
Nux.
