Hello! Hotkeys that are linked to ctrl or just letters don't work, but bundles with shift or F work. Anyone knows how to fix that? Thanks

DIA responsiviness problem due to # Fonts Ubuntu 24.04 installs

FYI... Just in case there are others that use or have used DIA... Several years ago I used the DIA Diagram Editor a lot for diagramming networks etc. It was a great simple to use tool! To install on ubuntu: sudo apt install dia A couple years went by where I'd not needed to use DIAt and during that time Ubuntu went through at least 1 LTS update. In the past couple months I'd been working on a project that I needed to produce some diagrams for again and started to use DIA again. But for some reason...

Looks like you're missing several dependencies, Try running: sudo apt --fix-broken install Then try installing Dia again.

I have solved the issue. I opened the recovered .dia file by clicking on the .dia file itself. The layers were not showing. But when I opened dia by clicking the dia.exe and then open the recovered file from File menue, then the layers were shown.

Thanks Ryan. However, After I recovered the .autosave file (by renaming .dia.autosave to .dia), It seems that I lost all of the layers I had in the diagram. The diagram is recovered successfully but I can't select any sub-diagram on different layers. Is there a way to find where the layers or recover them?

I second this request. This absolute path to images really prevents people from collaborating the diagram. Even in the same Linux machine, moving the diagram to different directory causes embedding images to no longer show up correctly. This may be the long overdue change that can really make a huge positive impact in terms of portability.

I have recently downloaded Dia because I wanted to do some simple organisational diagrams. I use a Mac running Catalina. The first time I used it, it worked perfectly. I produced the diagram I wanted , saved it and printed it out. All good. But then today I went back to modify the diagram and I found: When I opened the saved version it was blank. When I tried to open a second version of the file I got an error message saying Dia wasn't open. When I tried to close Dia down I got the same error message....

Zander, thank you for trying hard to ensure backwards compatibility. Some of these ".dia" files are filed away and then pulled out years later when an enhancement is needed. I don't even know what version originally created them. I noticed one had a reference to xmlns:dia and http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/ but that site doesn't exist anymore. I tried to look at the "DummyDB.dia" file here, and it looks like binary. but the ".dia" filie I have is XML. I don't understand.

Ok. Thank you for the information. I understand you are on a different operating system. The version I have on windows is 0.97.2. I have found a workaround though. I get a link from the icon and I put it on the screen instead of trying to join 2 activities directly. I can then move the ends of the link to attach them to the activities. In this case I have no crash. Maybe this can help troubleshoot.

Hi Ron, I see this question has received a bit of traffic: Dia is not dead, a few people are working very hard to bring it up to date since it has been unmaintained for about 4 years now. We are looking for help. The new source repository has moved over to GNOME gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia I'm not sure if diagrams can be resized. Perhaps exporting them to a shape and then using that? I'm also not sure if other developers read this forum, based on the dates, probably not. Your best...

Hi All, Sorry for the late reply: I've just got dia to compile on windows with MSYS2 and Meson (http://mesonbuild.com/). This is part of an ongoing effort of porting the dia build to meson. If you are still interested in Windows development please get in touch on the mailling list: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list I would also recommend you check out my current meson_port branch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/neduard/dia/tree/meson_port and have a play with it.

Hello Heyward, Sorry for the late reply, Dia has been asleep for a long time and we're currently in the process of waking it up. If you still have the problem, I think it is easier to send an email to the mailing list directly: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list Providing your Linux distribution and dia version would also help solve the issue. Thanks, Eduard

For record. When i try to type with Latvina ('.) keyboard layout (Input Method is System(simple)) instead of symbols "āšķēž" i get "áśḱéź". I am on Windows7 (Dia 0.97.2) right now, and this keyboard layout is popular in Latvia but comes from different third party software, hopefully, when i go to Win10 or Ubuntu, this problem will go away.
