    @marcusquinn said in diagrams.net (was draw.io) - most popular open source diagram editor:

    @micmc Isn't what's saved just a link file though?

    Nope, not at all, as I said the file is saved right there on my Nextcloud and I just need to double-click to open it and keep working on it.

    I mean, when you think about it why would the module, which is inside my nextcloud, save a file with a 'link' to my diagram file which I saved to my nextcloud, from within my nextcloud, to open another file it's linked to?

    I do not see the 'link' 😉

    Take care

    @micmc Yeah, thinking, I am cursed with that. This is the contents of the .xml for a New Diagram, with just an Organisation template:

    d56ffa8b-9d61-4bad-ae3f-a7ba961546cd-image.png

    Looks like a proprietary link to me. I mean, what other application could open that .xml with as a diagram editor?

      @marcusquinn just because its xml does not mean that there could not be other applications trying to parse it (think of LibreOffice or others being able to open and save files stored as "Microsoft Office XML").

      But to be more portable I usually store my draw.io files as .drawio.svg. Then I also get file previews in my file explorer.

        @marcusquinn Not really cursed, only not using the right file extension. What you are showing is the XML code of the file.

        I do not know how your nextcloud is set. Only, when I click on the + and choose to create a diagram type Nextcloud asks for the file name immediately and saves it as a .drawio file by default. As also explained by @fbartels you should save your file as .drawio and it should work as I stated mine works. AMOF if you open the .drawio file with text editor you will, indeed, still see the xml code.

          I was about to create an App Wishlist for diagrams.net.

          Lets have this happen on Cloudron.

          Datavisualizations, such as diagrams, are an important part of the thought and communication process. We need to be able to represent our ideas at a glance without resorting to proprietary tools, which might censor our discussions.

              Now we've got Outline which integrates with Draw.io, I really want Draw.io too!

                  We can already have Draw.io as a Nextcloud app, but I suppose that might not integrate well with Outline. That said, it's so easy to export as an image with Draw.io (literally just select the area of your diagram you want, right click and save) that it may no be such a problem. But true that if diagram dynamically change in Outline when you change them in Draw.io that would be rather sexy.

                    That would be nice.

                    But even if it doesn't do that, but just lets you create nice diagrams within Outline without having to go anywhere else, that'd be nice too.

                        @jdaviescoates From what I can tell https://app.diagrams.net stores data in the browser, so perhaps more of a nice-to-have, since it already seems pretty private.

                              The standard way for integrating/embedding draw.io is described in https://www.drawio.com/blog/embedding-walkthrough.

                              It's a protocol via postMessage for load/save. You'd have whatever storage interface there is for cloudron (sorry, I'm not familiar with it) and add a create diagram button. The self-hosted draw.io is shown in an iFrame and saves go back to the parent to store somewhere. That's how pretty much all the integrations works, nextcloud, gitlab, etc.
