What

Open in Dia (and ⌘O) in a Little Dia window now moves the page itself into the main window instead of opening its address again.

Why

Closes #439. The page was reopened in a new tab and the small window closed, so it reloaded and lost typed text, scroll position and anything in progress. The tab is now moved across as it is. If the move fails, it falls back to opening the address as before.

Proof

A test page showing a load id made at load, a counter, and a text field, scrolled to 2400, after Open in Dia.

Before, a new load: new id, empty field, scroll 0.

before

After, the same page: same id, text kept, scroll kept, counter still running.

after

Same result from the button and from ⌘O, with tabs in the sidebar and at the top.

Tested on

  • Dia: 1.57.0 (90921) and 1.58.0 (91047)
  • macOS: 27.0.1

Checklist

  • I tried to break this and fixed what I found
  • It works with tabs in the sidebar and tabs at the top
  • It works with each tweak on and off
