some minor bugs
« on: January 11, 2006, 06:38:24 am »
there is no way to control page margins - margin fields in page setup window are greyed (measurement units should be system's default, not inches)


It may be related with this:

there is left too much space on the right side of diagram image - no way to control it (as others also)

Also, when saving diagram to image, if you previously save image in one format and change to another, file name with an extension doesn't change - possible solution: don't show format in file name field at all - image type is controlled by save type selection)


About notes - in my example note is attached to output() method:



method, but indication of that isn't helpful - if there would be output attribute, there wouldn't be any distinction between attribute/method. Suggest at least indicate method note with the method(), in my case it's output(). Better solution - full method and arguments declaration - output(ms : AgMessage) or output(AgMessage) in my case.

AgExternalEvent class has all attributes and methods hidden in feature visibility window - class has 3 field areas - class name, attribute, method. Class1 class is empty and has only 2 areas - it would be logical to follow united display style.

Also field of improvement - to let user to decide, which particular methods/attributes to show in this class, for example:
class EA has 2 methods: add() and delete(), in one diagram it's needed only add() method, while in another delete(). Solution - to make attribute/method checkbox list

External package presentation in class name (Calculations::Sum) is controled for a whole diagram - I believe, that this should be an option for each diagram entity

BTW, in sequence diagram objects should be underlined or not? now it's not underlined in sequence diagrams

Regarding the greyed margins: this is probably a bug. However, I never reported this since I never print directly from EA but copy/paste ALWAYS to my favorite editor.

also, one more bug: if diagram name contains symbols as ./\| & so on - there is no way to save diagram image (due to not allowed char in diagram name)  ;)

Did you report them as bugs to Sparx? Posting it here is not enough...
