Bug ID: 380266
Summary: Import / export unstable - limiting
Product: umbrello
Version: 2.21.3 (KDE Applications 16.12.3)
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: umbrello-***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---

Hello,

It is important to enable some level of integration. It is way easier, quicker
and less error prone to import model and diagram data via simple structured
text such as csv and also to extract such data the same. currently a user has
to point and click many times to define a single attribute. Also export
functionality is buggy, does not create html.

For others encountering similar problem and also as presenting a way to
implement future import / export feature, here is a suggestion:

If the purpose is to gather and organize info (for a later data model) then use
freeplane mind mapping application. Define entities as many as required in a
simple text file each line for an entity name or attribute. Use tab indentation
(as many levels) as required to denote hierarchy. Then select all/copy and
paste into a node in freeplane. The opposite also works fine. Here is a sample:

Designer
ID
Name
Skills
Developer
ID
Name
Passion
...

Finally export HTML from freeplane!

The benefit is you have a structured document to easily observe and manipulate
with a quite working tool as you move forward.

With version 2.21.80 a feature of importing sequences into a sequence diagram
from file or clipboard has been added (see bug 374845 for more details)

Good for sequence diagrams. Data Model is a more important aspect of software
production. Similar implementation should make that feature available for other
diagrams but with priority if developers are limited.

I guess with 'Designer' you are refering to a class and 'ID' relates to be a
class member ?

Assuming such a construct would be importable into an umbrello class diagram:
How would you specify class methods, namespaces, generalization, associations,
class visibility and other available attributes ?

I just mentioned a minimum to set direction - class names and attributes. Could
use some keywords, mnemonics or symbols specifying attributes, methods,
visibility etc. Take () for denoting methods at the end of identifiers.

Pushed by habacker into branch 'master'.

Add support for importing simple statements into class diagrams.

Class and association statements could be imported by pasting from
the clipboard or by selecting "from file" in the "new" submenu of
a class diagram context menu.

Parsing errors occured on import are logged into the log window.

See test/import/diagrams/class/examples.txt for examples of
supported statements.

Great. Have to wait for the package or find some time to install the patch.

This doesn't work in 2.22.3. I have updated regularly and it seems Umbrello's
package did not mirror the latest development.

Clipboard pasting from the mentioned examples triggers an error message and
there is no such from file submenu in a class diagram context menu.

Comment 8 says that this was added to version 2.22.80, which later became
stable version 2.23.0.

Version 2.22.3 was released before and therefore does not include this feature.

I mentioned that I do regular updates. Why Umbrello is stuck at 2.22.3?

You need to ask the maintainers of the distribution, where you got version
2.22.3.

A simple google search for "umbrello ubuntu" returns
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?lang=de&suite=cosmic&searchon=names&keywords=umbrello

Just for the record: binary packages for 2.23.0 may be named as 17.08.0. So you
need to install a package newer or equal to that version.
