Dia for Debian ============== This is the Debian packaged version of Dia in Debian. Please note the following: Debian defaults to integrated version ------------------------------------- Since 0.97, dia supports an integrated versions, including all diagrams and the main menu in a single X window. This is now the default in Debian when using the Debian alternatives mechanism in automatic mode. E.g.: $ update-alternatives --display dia dia - auto mode link currently points to /usr/bin/dia-gnome-integrated /usr/bin/dia-gnome - priority 50 /usr/bin/dia-gnome-integrated - priority 55 /usr/bin/dia-normal - priority 40 /usr/bin/dia-normal-integrated - priority 45 Current 'best' version is '/usr/bin/dia-gnome-integrated'. $ You can switch back to the non-integrated version by setting dia alternatives manually to the respective mode, e.g.: # update-alternatives --config dia or by directly calling "dia-normal" or "dia-gnome". Opening diagrams created wth older Dia versions ----------------------------------------------- Regarding problems on import of .dia files created with dia 0.90 (or earlier), this is a problem that probably won't be fixed, according to the authors of Dia on their webpages: http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/news.html: "Warning: Since the font handling is changed, some elements in old diagrams may change size. Since the font size was somewhat arbitrary in older versions of Dia, there is little we can do to fix this." See also http://bugs.debian.org/292326 -- Roland Stigge, Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:01:30 +0100
