Subject: missing -format=pdf export in man dia
From: jandostal@gmail.com
To: dia-list@gnome.org

Hello, when reading dia man pages, it doesn't say anything about exporting pdf on command line using -format=pdf, or -format=gnome-pdf and many others. 

This feature works on command line, just isn't documented in man pages. Thanks for a good work on dia. 

Your Jan

Thanks for the patches, but I've taken a different approach:

- Remove static filter list from --filter help string ...

 - follow-up: beautify filter names and fix help for --list-filters
