Re: All-in-one window option (--integrated)

[Doom <doom mail gmail com>]

Hi Andrey and Michael,

thanks for your answer.

Seems to be some misunderstandings, so I will precise my problem :

I have tried to put --integrated after diaw.exe in the the file association table, but it reply me that there is no such file.

I know how to make a shortcut and how to add the --integrated option (I have done it, call it 'dia_integrated.exe' in bin of Dia).

So if I have double-clicked on the shortcut, it opens Dia in integrated mode,

     if I drag and drop the dia file on the shortcut, it open the file in integrated mode

     if I associate this shortcut to .dia files (right clic + 'open with', or configuration panel + programs + associate a file), .dia files are open without integrated mode (it seems that dia_integrated is replaced by diaw.exe in the association table, so without the --integrated option).

I always use the third condition to open files, so I want to be ok with the third solution.

So I have done a .bat file which name is 'dia_integrated.bat' in bin of Dia.

There's only one line in this batch : "D:\Programs\Dia\bin\dia.exe" --integrated %1

I have make association of .dia files to this bat

Now it works, when I double-clicked on a dia file, it is opened in dia with integrated mode, but the parent terminal is still open. If by mistake, I close this terminal, Dia is immediately closed (no question) and all changes doing in Dia will be lost.

My need is exactly the same, but without the terminal window (without the risk of lost my works).

For recalling, I am under windows seven now.

To answer to Andrey, when I type ASSOC .dia in a terminal, it replies me somethings like 'file association not found for dia extension'.

I am not administer of my PC (it is a company computer).

I have also noticed a little bug. When I open my dia file, the 'dynamic grid' in Diagram Properties is always checked, even if I have unchecked it and saved the file.

Best Regards and thanks for your help.

Doom.

No, it won't do that, but you can open two instances of Dia, and Copy and paste between them, if you like, or not.

So, one short cut works fine for one way and the other works the other way.

Editing Dia shortcut doesn't change the way Dia start when opening a document.
