Issues & requests - fairly minor but noticeable issues



Hello, 

All of the following were noticed on Dia 0.97.1 on Vista SP2.  

----

Summary:  issue (& enhancement requests) with closing all open files

If all open files are closed (by clicking the X on the tab for each 
file), the name of one of the files stays in the Dia window 
titlebar.  Issue:  At a minimum, the titlebar should change to 
something like "No open file."  

Enhancement request:  At this point, a blank "Diagram1" should be 
automatically made for the user.  Some text editors do this.  

Enhancement request (assuming the previous enhancement is made):  
If the user opens a file at this point, the file that was opened by 
the user should replace the automatically generated "Diagram1."  
Dia does this on startup.  

----

On startup, Dia should maximize its window if the window was 
maximized the last time Dia was shut down.  Instead, Dia opens with 
approximately the position and size of a maximized window, but it 
is not actually maximized.

Summary:  Toolbox header might not reflect the selected sheet

1.  Make sure there is blank space in the toolbox below the 
bottommost shape icon.  That is, make sure the selected sheet has 
few enough shapes, and the Dia window is tall enough.  
2.  Click the sheets menu in the toolbox (to open the sheets menu). 
 
3.  Mouse over "Other sheets" so the submenu appears.  
4.  Mouse over the submenu.  
5.  Click in the blank space at the bottom of the toolbox, to close 
the menu.  
6.  Issue:  The sheets menu (the toolbox header) still says "Other 
sheets."   Instead, it should show the name of the sheet whose 
shapes are visible in the toolbox.  

---- 

File > Preferences > Diagram Defaults should use radio buttons 
(instead of a checkbox) for portrait/landscape (so the user doesn't 
have to think "if I want landscape, I must leave 'Portrait' 
unchecked") 

On File > Preferences > User Interface, preferably reword "Reverse 
dragging" to "Right-to-left dragging," which would be clearer 

----

Feature request:  middle-mouse-button click in diagram (as opposed 
to dragging the middle mouse button) can do the same as if the user 
had selected View > Best Fit with nothing selected, that is, zoom 
so that all drawn objects fit within the drawing window 

----

Thanks in advance for looking at these issues & requests.
