I've made some small changes to the dia source code to better fit my way of working. Specifically, I use layers to create "animations" for presentations and such, and have therefore made some small changes to the handling of these.
First, I've modified the --show-layers command line option to handle with layer numbers and ranges of layers (the --show-layers option was originally added by Sampo Kellomaki). This has already been applied to CVS, and you can now export figures with (e.g.):
dia --nosplash --show-layers=0-2,4 -e out.eps file.dia
The second change is to add layer numbers to the layer dialogue, which helps when selecting which layers to export. These are shown on the left in the screenshot below.
The patch for the layer numbers is against the CVS version of dia and can be downloaded here:
