GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 332828
No windows taskbar button for toolbox window
Last modified: 2007-08-06 20:01:13 UTC
If the 'Keep toolbox on top' item is checked, the toolbox window's taskbar button should be made visible after all the diagrams have been closed. At the moment, dia stays open with no icons on the taskbar. If you open several diagram from explorer, multiple dia instances stays open and gets hidden behind other windows etc. Another solution might be to send a message to dia if it is already running to open the file from explorer (e.g. dde), instead of starting up a new instance. Other information:
Windows XP, also with 'toolbox on top' If you minimize a diagram, the toolbox stays visible. If you click on the toolbox window the diagram will not restore by clicking the taskbar button. The only way the get to the diagram is by right clicking on the taskar button and selecting restore.
pushing bugs forward to a still relevant version, 0.95-pre2 is not
The new integrated UI in the upcoming 0.97 version also solves this problem.
