Great product!.. and a few English tips

English is tough to begin with and yours is very good; however on the dialog box titled "Thank you for using Software Ideas Modeler" that offers three levels of support; the first ends with the sentence "You can get activation key by choosing the option.". It would be better said as "You can get [an] activation key by choosing this option." In the second option, again last sentence, add a few words "Optionally, you can donate [to] this project [by] sending any amount of money."

And lastly, in the third option, I'd rewrite the whole thing to read "If you money to support ... software on your blog, [or talk] about it with others...."

And keep up the excellent work Dusan!

Documentation info lost

Text entered in the documentation tab of the side bar is lost when switching diagrams.

Info: v4.87.0

1) while looking to one diagram, enter text in the documentation tab of the side bar

2) select another diagram of the project in the tab bar -> the text entered previously disappears

Is this a bug or some UI feature that I don't get?

RE: Documentation info lost

The documentation tab was originally planned for editing documentation of selected element in diagram.

I will improve this behavior in the next version (4.88).

RE: RE: RE: Documentation info lost

Your suggestion is implemented in version 4.88.

2) Deleting an element in the model overview deletes it, but it's still visible in the overview until the tabpage is switched and back to the overview.

3) Reproduced only once - after saving it wasn't possible to reproduce: right click on project (in hierarchical tree) add diagram -> add activity diagram: null pointer reference

Maybe because old file was of 4.86 ?

RE: Copy'n'Paste

These problems will be fixed in version 4.88. I estimate the release date on February 6th - 7th.

EDIT: Version 4.88 is available for download.

Rename diagram - tabpage name not refreshed

When renaming an open diagram in "Projects", the tab page header of the diagram (on top) is still "Diagram 1".

Workaround: Close the tab and reopen the diagram.

Suggestion: what about additionally renaming feature by double click on the tab (only available for diagrams, not for the overview tab page)

Like in excel: double click on a tab sheet name and you'll see what I mean :)

RE: Rename diagram - tabpage name not refreshed

Fixed in version 4.87.

Thank you for the suggestion. Renaming using double click will be added in version 5.0.

The Toolbox tools do not show up on the toolbox. I'm using it on Windows vista business edition.

Add existing diagram from open file does not creat

Since the current options to copy entire diagrams seems poor I tried to use the add existing diagram function on the same file I was editing.

Sure, the diagram did add to the second model, but it seems as if it did not become a complete copy because when I tried to change the name of the diagram the name changed on the source, not the copy. Also, when I deleted the diagram it was deleted from the source model.

RE: Add existing diagram from open file does not c

Version 4.86 solves this problem.

Resizing and placing of lifelines

According to some documentation i found that it should be possible to position a lifeline both horizontally and vertically. One good example is if you want to show a Create message, which should go from an activation bar to the lifeline box, not to an activation bar of the created object.

Also, if you add several tagged values and/or stereotypes, there is no way of resizing the box so that these are displayed within.

Dusan Rodina - softwareideas.net 16 January 2011 17:30:02

RE: Resizing and placing of lifelines

Both deficiencies were corrected in version 4.86. The tool for Create message was added in the toolbox.
