RE: when mine

Hello,

Almost all your suggestions were implemented - here is the overview:

"Why you allow only class and entity to have "caption in the rectangle" style? Objects for exemple do not support this feature."

Added in 7.20 - Added universal Show Fields parameter (applied to classes, objects, blocks, enumerations, etc.)

"I need some type of diagram that allow "arbitrary" (didn find better word) using some elementary objects and connections and relation between them (like in others type but drawing type), not depending on some notation (standard types of diagrams) and also allow use objects from any (or some) other diagrams. in other words, some primitives should support extended function."

Added in 7.00 - Added support for custom diagrams (but only Ultimate edition)

It's actually a little bit weird. "show parts" setting is the only one that there's no in context menu of element. Only in top menu "element". Why?

Added in 6.70 - Added Show Part menu to context menu [RQ#312]

"Now for me it very impede that i can't do quick copy of element. every time SIM asked option of my copy. It very slow me down and interupt me. I think for lot of users 'paste copy' is more prefer than 'new instance'. Set ctrl+c and ctrl+v to default - 'paste cope' option, without asking. If users prefer this dialog every time (i very doubt) let them customize it in the settings. In top menu just make two options of paste at once."

Added in 6.52 - Added Don't show this again option for Paste dialog [RQ#312]

"When i put entity on grid, in show part settings "show atributes" some weird rhombus instead of a check mark. I dont know what it means. But it requires to chose some other option and then chose "show atribute" again - for not showing i mean. And only then atributes is hiden. Why did you do i? Fix it, please. It's not usefull at all and very bother me."

Fixed - now only one click is enough. The third state besides checked/unchecked is for default value, which is taken from diagram settings

"Something about visual style. Sometimes bad antialiasing spoils the whole picture. It's just ugly. It also can be done optional. But if i know that my computer is not old weak machine i want worthy antialiasing."

I need a screenshot, I can't identify any problem with antialiasing.

"When i change style of text element, i change only font, but also border appears someway"

Fixed in 6.60 - Custom style in Style tab (Properties dialog) starts from current style (when it is default style or class style) [RQ#312]

"Also i need feature to duplicate diagram in one click. Diagram 1 automaticly duplicate in diagram 1 (2). "

Added in 7.10 - Added diagram duplication (menu Diagram/Duplicate)

"Toolbar scrollbar should be visible all the time. When it hide every time it looks slovenly."

Improved in 6.60 - Added option to not hide the toolbox scrollbar [RQ#313]

"feature to modify one elements to other."

Added in 7.10 - Elements can be converted to other element types (all editions) - you can change an element to any other type - menu Element / Convert

Rectangular relationships were also improved, but they need some other enhancements to be perfect.

RE: when mine

I will consider this feature - "Why don't you make ctrl + drag drop = copy like right click copy/ How can i set right click copy default?"

"What shold i do for look of diagrams to be stay the same in every device and monitor?"

I didn't know about this issue. I will analyze it.

RE: RE:

Thank you for your notice. The problem is caused by different DPI settings. I will fix this issue very soon in the next release.

Duplicating in current way make no sence. Copy paste in project tree take the same time. I asked make duplicating as context menu in project tree. It shouldnt ask for name or someting. it sould be done automatically. point to ask name if user can set name by standart way. it take the same time this way.

dianame1 should automatically duplicate in dainame1 (2) or something like this.

Updater.exe dont work in any version. standart or portable. i want to save old setting for new version in both versions. espesially in portable.

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 5 May 2014 14:42:20

RE:

Ok, I will allow this simplified duplicating.

Updater.exe is not user-executable file. It's used by Software Ideas Modeler for auto-update feature, which is available only for licensed instances of Software Ideas Modeler.

RE: RE:

then how can i save my settings. I tired set them again after every updates.

how can i do for both standart and portable?

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 6 May 2014 13:07:38

RE: RE: RE:

For portable version: You can just copy the files of a new version to the folder with the previous version and replace the old files. Settings will be not replaced, because their file is created after first run and it is not in the package. Settings are saved in 'Settings.settings' file in the application root folder.

For non-portable version: Settings are saved in the standard Windows user profile and they are transferred to the new version automatically on update. The file with settings is located here: C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\DusanRodina\SoftwareIdeasModeler.exe_Url_*\{AppVersion}\user.config
