Publisher's description
From Alexander Larsson :Dia is open-source visual-editing software that can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape. It can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by default, to save space), can export diagrams to a number of formats, including EPS, SVG, XFIG, WMF and PNG, and can print diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages).
Version 0.96.1 includes several bug fixes.

Cons: Would be a little difficult to use for a first timer who has never used flow chart software before, but once you get started, it's not that hard.
Summary: I like the program as it's easy to make / modify flow charts. I use it for workflow diagrams, so I cannot relate to complex schematics. For my purpose, it's very quick. I like that I can use a basic drawing, modify for another use case and save i... read more >>

Version: Dia 0.96.1
"Ok for me until it closed unexpectedly"
Pros: Take my review with a grain of salt because I do not use these programs often. I am a total newbie. I felt comfortable with this one, but then as soon as I learned how to set up a flow chart how I wanted, it crashed and everything disappeared.
Cons: It closed unexpectedly on me not saving anything. (I usually save as I go but I just got started with this...)
Summary: I was looking for a simple flowchart program. This looks okay. It's safe. I can't really not recommend it except for the fact that it closed unexpectedly on me. It might be good for some people. Seems middle of the road not too technical but has l... read more >>
