Re: Problem with Layers in Dia version 0.97.2

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

FWIW, I did my test in integrated mode, and it worked fine - always has.  

You might try toggling the layers display - Ctrl-L , Ctrl-L; Ctrl-L.  Since I cannot reproduce the problem I can't say for sure.

I guess if Andrey is right, then you could run it not in integrated mode (separate windows for the various items - tools, palettes, layers, and so on).

I have my Dia shortcut properties Target set as:

Target:  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dia\bin\diaw.exe" --integrated

But if you set it as:

Target:  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dia\bin\diaw.exe"

You get the separate windows.

There's a little issue with layers menu in 0.97.2.
Sometimes, new layers are not added to it in integrated mode.
You have to close and reopen it, if I recall correctly. Othervise, I haven't
had an issue.
