next suggestions (#312)
Hi. I hate captcha. Let me register and reciev e-mail notifications.
It's actually a little bit weird. "show parts" setting is the only one that there's no in context menu of element. Only in top menu "element". Why?
Now for me it very impede that i can't do quick copy of element. every time SIM asked option of my copy. It very slow me down and interupt me. I think for lot of users 'paste copy' is more prefer than 'new instance'. Set ctrl+c and ctrl+v to default - 'paste cope' option, without asking. If users prefer this dialog every time (i very doubt) let them customize it in the settings. In top menu just make two options of paste at once.
***
When i put entity on grid, in show part settings "show atributes" some weird rhombus instead of a check mark. I dont know what it means. But it requires to chose some other option and then chose "show atribute" again - for not showing i mean. And only then atributes is hiden. Why did you do i? Fix it, please. It's not usefull at all and very bother me.
***
Something about visual style. Sometimes bad antialiasing spoils the whole picture. It's just ugly. It also can be done optional. But if i know that my computer is not old weak machine i want worthy antialiasing.
***
Rectangular behavior still very bad, but i understand that you didn't yet make deal with it.

Ok. I change my mind. i thank you. ))

When i change style of text element, i change only font, but also border appears someway. Weird.

I don't know what exactly do you mean (I didn't notice anything strange, when I tried to change font). Please, can you send me some screenshots or provide more details? Thank you for further cooperation.

I see you too took a long break. When new version is expecting? I made very much suggestion for great new ideology and i really want to see what get.
Your captcha turned more agressive.

Now, it's clear to me, thank you for your clarification. I will fix this behavior soon.
I work on a new version. There will be some useful improvements, which will be maybe not very visible for all users, but they are quite difficult to implement. Some of your suggestions will be implemented in the next version.
Btw. in the current version (6.52), clipboard dialog (which you didn't like) was improved.

I dont't remember if i already said it. Not all the class diagram conector type is can be used for simple rectangle, not class. For example generalization don't connect two rectangle whatever i did. But usage did it well. Pretty wierd.

I suppose it could be released on 14th or 15th December. It depends whether all tests will pass. The new version can be finished also later, but not later than 22th December.

I think not need to wait new version to make such suggestion right now.
I suppose it's easy to do. I need oportunity to set protection on some diagrams from editing. allow just copy (necessarily).
Also i need feature to duplicate diagram in one click. Diagram 1 automaticly duplicate in diagram 1 (2). besides duplicate it's should exists feature (element of context menu) called "create new version" of selected diagram. it automaticlly duplicate diagramm 1 to diagramm 1 (1.1) and place it "inside" diagramm 1 tree. elemenet of diagramms shouldn't be in the project tree that way. i even understand why it's need there.
riskingof being arrogant, also suggest to do feature to create folder in project tree, and feature to see progect tree in other tab or just popup block (place) but close to whole screen. smaller but big anyway.
Setting window should be existid like tab also. like in google chrome.
Small windows blocking other behind them incredibly annoying and outdated right when them was invented.

As I said, it depends whether all tests will pass. I need to finish some things to not publish a 'buggy' release. The next release will fix one design flaw, which consumed a lot of development time, but it was neccesary to do or disable some features, what I didn't want to do.
Anyway, thank you for your new tips and suggestions you posted.

What's next are you planning about my other suggestion or something else ideas for SIM?

Sorry, that I'm replying a little bit later. There will be few 6.x releases with smaller features and improvements and then later in first half of this year will be released version 7 with support of new diagrams and bigger features.
"feature to see progect tree in other tab or just popup block (place) but close to whole screen. smaller but big anyway."
You can move the pane with the project tree. Just drag its title and it transforms to window, you can move and size as you want.
Or do you want to add a feature which allows to open multiple windows with project tree?
"Setting window should be existid like tab also. like in google chrome."
The setting window as a modal dialog has its reason. Actually, I saw non-modal settings only in Chromium based browsers. It is a modal window in all other applications. I think that turning Setting window to non-modal (e.g. tab) will cause more problems (e.g. synchronization - some settings can be edited also using menu or toolbar buttons) than bring benefits (are there any?).
"Also i need feature to duplicate diagram in one click. Diagram 1 automaticly duplicate in diagram 1 (2). besides duplicate it's should exists feature (element of context menu) called "create new version" of selected diagram. it automaticlly duplicate diagramm 1 to diagramm 1 (1.1) and place it "inside" diagramm 1 tree. elemenet of diagramms shouldn't be in the project tree that way. i even understand why it's need there."
I will add diagram duplication soon (now you can use Copy & Paste of whole diagram). I will analyze the possibility of adding versioning of diagrams ("create new version").
Also now, you can configure how should look the project tree. Clicking on the button with blue funnel (on right of the drop down with project tree views) you show the menu which allows you to hide all diagram elements (entities, relations, comments and groups).
"suggest to do feature to create folder in project tree"
You can do it using button Add Model. I will rename the model to 'package' or 'folder' in some of new versions. The name 'model' is there only from historical reason.
"set protection on some diagrams from editing. allow just copy"
This could be added soon.
