Description Paul Wise 2018-01-16 09:35:22 UTC
OmniGraffle is a proprietary diagramming application:

https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle/

It has a custom file format based on the XML-based Apple plist format:

The extension of OmniGraffle files is .graffle and the files may be optionally gzipped.

There is a C library for reading Apple plist files here:

Here are a few samples available at the URLs below:

David, does adding support for this format sound okay to you? If so, please confirm the ticket.
Comment 2 David Tardon 2018-01-22 12:47:34 UTC
I doubt I'm going to work on it myself, but, in general, why not... Btw, all texts are saved as RTF documents, which makes the task considerably harder (well, I can imagine requiring external support for RTF import, which would probably be reasonably doable in LibreOffice, but would complicate the integration anyway).
