GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 103415
DiagramN.dia instead of Untitled-N.dia (or DrawingN.dia)
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I was thinking that instead of saving documents as Untitled-N.dia Dia could save them as DrawingN.dia or DiagramN.dia I think DrawingN is better than DiagramN. (Visio uses this naming convention by the way) I dont see any need to put a hyphen between the word Drawing and the number, although it does make it a little bit clearer. Patch coming in a minute

I should probably patch the en-GB.po file as well gonna mail the list now and see if others approve.
Lars says to use Diagram rather than Drawing new patch needed.

Patch to app/commands.c is attached the string is now Diagram%d.dia I get the feeling that i am really not supposed to directly edit .po files, but anyway the patch is attached.
tweaked summary
Let me just do a quick run-through of the commit process, then:

First be satisfied that your change works, or at the very least compiles.
Then do cvs update to be sure to be up to date.
Then add comments in the ChangeLog describing the change.
The ChangeLog comments are much more important than
the cvs commit comments. In Emacs, ChangeLog comments 
are made with C-x 4 a.
Then do cvs commit ChangeLog <files...>. Enter a small
appropriate comment.
That's it.

It's a very good idea to keep the commits concentrated on one
change (possibly over several files, though). If you're fixing two
bugs, commit twice. You can use cvs diff to see if you have
uncommitted changes lying around.

It may be a good idea to have a separate checkout of Dia
that you don't change anything in, to make sure that the
CVS version works.


Oh, and don't go into the .po files to change the strings. If you have translations to do, you may want to talk with the translators, but don't change the base strings just because it changed in the program. It'll be updated soon enough.
