Description:

Kivio mp is a different version then the open source program Kivio (a component of KOffice) developed by theKompany.com. It differs from Kivio in many ways, most importantly that it runs not only on KDE and Linux, but also on Windows platforms and on Mac OS X.

If it uses source code from kivio your licence is illegal... If it doesn't use any source code from kivio you could at least change the name of your program ...

- Zoom in/out works - Zoom on an item works - Layers works (back/forward) - Copy/paste works - No print preview - No way to change colors to "Rational style" by default. - Works like Visio in black and white monochrome (no color) - Provides Flowchart only - Easy access to coordinate tuning - Some keyboard shortcuts, but not for every menu item. - Close icon is weird? (looks like open) - View menu is empty - Arrange menu is empty - No way to group stuff around - Stencils are in Kivio XML + PNG icon, good but would have been better if it was based on SVG. - Stencils would have been better with an augmented SVG grammar, such that editor could more easily import new rastered stencils. - No way to create stencils from KivioMP, must be done manually? - The stencils are way more intuitive than Visio XML format perhaps. - No way to combine existing stencils item into a new stencil. - Stencils are sold seperatly 5-10$/each http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/stencils.php3 - Units are in "pt" by default? - No way to change units. - The units x/y/spacing toolbar cannot be span on two toolbar rows (Qt bug!?). - Does not support mixing of rich text within a label. - Font color does not work once the dialog is closed. - Provides less features by default then: Schematics http://www.hypergraphics.co.uk/Schematic.shtml or Microsoft Visio or Rational Rose or Rational Rose XDE The interface is mostly a strip down version of Microsoft Visio. The connectors functionality works like Visio not like Rational Rose. If you are looking for a featureless and portable version of Visio that works on most platform for less than 100$, this is it.
