Description Alan Horkan 2003-03-04 00:44:35 UTC 
currently .dia files can be compressed and uncompressed (currently gzip is
used for compression).  

I propose a new .zdia extension.   
The .zdia extension is to make it explicitly clear that a file is compressed.  
For legacy reasons (and external programs outside our control) Dia could
never assume based on .dia and would still need to accept .dia files that
are gzipped might prefer.  

this has been discussed quite thoroughly on the mailing list
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2003-February/msg00196.html

i am entirely sure how best to go about adding this to the GUI but Lars
agrees in principle that it would be useful.

Current CVS has the ability to remember if a loaded diagram was
compressed, at least.  It's not quite the same, but it should reduce
CVS accidents.
