A .Dia file is a zipped xml file.

Unzip it then it can be opened.

Or, if you're doing the saving, clear the check-box in the save dialog that says "compress diagram files" and you'll get xml files saved.

 

 

Helpfully,

Maybe,

Richard.

Hello liang chang,


As far as I know is a .dia file a binary, so it will not open in any text editor. To view the content of a .dia file you could export it to svg. That you can read in almost any text editor.


With kind regards,
