Benoît - You can already open PDF files and PDF-compatible Illustrator files using OmniGraffle Professional. Lionel - Your problem rests with Visio having only a few distinct connector types: straight, curved, and orthogonal. When we export, we try to preserve appearance, but overall functionality will trump this. Marty- Yes, Graffle 4.2 will run on 10.5.

You're just emphasizing that there won't be an OmniGraffle 4.3 or beyond and that OmniGraffle 5 will be OS 10.5-only.

The only thing is that at the end I have to send a Visio file to my team and clients... I've spotted some issues with the Visio-XML export function: - Well it does look darn good when opened in Visio... - ...But as soon as you start cutting and pasting it from Visio to Powerpoint (on any other MS crap) or just touching it, it is just a mess: all perfectly crafted lines path go berserk leaving just the line tags, alone where they were. Should I log a bug for this one? Will you issue an update for the 4.2?

Are you collecting features? Because here's one I'd like to see implemented: import from AI and eps. Now that you have Bezier curves... shouldn't be too hard... maybe... I realize that Illustrator targets a different market but there are so many great sites that offer artwork in Illustrator format (iStockPhoto and the like), it would be soooo convenient to import it into a graffle, tweak the colors or remove a poor background, one element of the image, change a text and bing! got a great looking picture for Keynote. Many congratulations on this release.
