There is another format that Visio can export to, and it is the XML version called also VDX. This file-format is specified (contrary to the binary one). If you could come with an abstract SAX interface and implement a parser of this file-format, it would fill some gap we have. But any bugfix is welcome.Hi Fridrich,Yes, I had a look at the VDX spec last year and it is indeed well documented and reasonably straight-forward, although there are difference between the 2003, 2007 and 2010 versions as far as I remember. I assume that all classes prefixed VSDX were designed to support both VSD and VDX and therefore should be shared between both types of parser?I'd be very interested in working on that but in order not to over-commit myself and to get familiar with the code, I'll probably start with some tests and simple bug reports / patches.
I've been doing some tests with sample Visio files and I've now added a grand total of 7 bug reports [1]. I would like to start tackling some of them but as I'm not familiar with the code base, I would welcome suggestions as to which ones are likely to be reasonably easy hacks.
