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?

One more problem/bug i face is about saved files. After i saved my project to the desktop i wanted to open it again . 1. I am running Dia. 2. I am trying to open file. 3. I am searching in desktop to find the saved project and 0 results. 4. Same when i am typing the file in search

Those days i download Dia and i have a bug when i am starting the project. Every time i press the run button , 3 pages pops . Dia v0.97.2 Diagram1.dia * C:\program Files (x86)\Dia\bin\dia.exe When i am closing the the third page the reamaing 2 are closing too. Also is very diffuclt to use the programm when every time i am making a line the tool page is dissapearing.

Chiachi posted a comment on ticket #138
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....

I also have to add /bin/bash to the Full Disk Access, according to this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia/-/issues/472#note_911451

Well there has never been an official release for macOS as such, so whatevers on dia-installer.de is the latest The next release will have an official macOS version
-
where you get the latest release for mac os x? at this page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dia-installer/ ?

That page (and this one...) were maintained by a third party who is no longer around For help getting existing releases to work on Catalina see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia/-/issues/472 Hope that helps :-)

Hi, I tried to install Dia on my Mac Os X 10.15.6 (Catalina), but I did not get it working. I read on the page; http://dia-installer.de/download/macosx.html, it looks like Mac OS Catalina is not supported. Any plan to support Mac OS Catalina? Regards, Ove

Ben Centin posted a comment on ticket #135
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.
-
Since I try hard to ensure newer Dia can open files from older Dia yes it's a safe assumption that the numbering of connections for a given version of a given object type will remain the same - if they don't it's a bug Hope that helps with your script

Hello, I'm creating new shapes where I have many connections points (it's about switches and its interfaces) and it would be nice to have a scale factor for the entire shape so that both the area containing the image and the connections points would be scaled accordingly. Is there a way to already achieve that? I refer to http://dia-installer.de/doc/en/custom-shapes-chapter.html Or may I use statements like or similar to https://www.fpml.org/spec/fpml-5-3-2-wd-2/html/reporting/schemaDocumentation/schemas/fpml-asset-5-3_xsd/complexTypes/Future/multiplier.html...

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.

Assuming I understand you right this works in 0.97.3 Unfortunatly the previous maintainer never released that for Windows, eventually the next Dia release (which will feature HiDPI support, python3 and a whole range of bug fixes) will be available for Windows but I'm afraid I don't have a timeframe on that

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.

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.

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.
