Alias and notes not safed in toolbox profile (EA 14)
« on: October 24, 2018, 12:29:36 am »
In my toolbox profile I wrote the following into my diagram notes:
Alias=Activity;Notes=The toolbox for the activity diagram;

But when I save this toolbox profile with EA 14 (Design > Diagram > Edit > Advanced > Safe as Profile...), EA doesn't save the alias and notes into the xml file.
Is this a bug in EA 14, or am I doing something wrong?

You have to take care which object you save as UML-profile:
If you select the <<profile>>ToolboxPackage, the according alias is exported, if you export the according diagram,
only it's name is exported (since it has no alias-attribute).
I have not yet observed any deviations when package's alias is equal to diagram's name.

The 'Notes' displayed via Design->Diagram->Edit->Properties are equal to those displayed under
ProjectBrowser->Diagram->ContextMenu(rightClick)->Properties->Special Action... .
These Notes are not exported, but those, you enter in the ExportDialog.
