i4Demo is now up and running at r1527.
New Things to look at:
Diagram Short Name (or Diagram Code) each Diagram has now an additional Text Field for the SHort Name.
That name is also shown & searchable in the slightly changed "Open Diagram" List in the Dashboard and in the general Loading Diagram Dialog.
The Free Text Tool should now work better.
The *System Error* when you click on the Save-Disk should not happen anymore.
The *auto-save-status-checkbox* in the bottom left does now remember the status, so once you did turn it of and then re-enter that Diagram it will restore the status like it has been when you left that Diagram.
Drill Down Icon is now shown also before you do select a Shape, so if a Department has one or more Diagrams that this Shape is the Parent, then you will see this Blue Arrow in the bottom-middle of the Shape, also without selecting it. You can also click on the Arrow to surf to that Drilled Down Diagram.
Surf Across for Flows, same for Flows => if there is a Shape *Outputflow* on your Diagram => the application will show a blue-right-direction arrow on the right side of the Outputflow. When you click on it you will surf to that Diagram, when there are multiple Diagrams to surf to you will see some textboxes next to the Shape to click on. Same for Inputflows, but they do display the arrow on the other side of the Shape and with the left-direction blue arrow.
There is also an additional checkbox *Show Pre/Next Diagrams on Flows* if you enable that it will show a littel Box with the SHort-name of each diagram (and the long-name when you mouse-over the text) for all Flows. Of course there will be only such a text if there is an icon to surf across. The Diagram will remember the status of that checkbox when you re-enter the Diagram.
To summarize for Surf Across:
For Output Flows => there is ONLY something to surf across if there is a Diagram that has THIS Flow as INPUT-Flow!
For Input Flows => there is ONLY something to surf across if there is a Diagram that has THIS Flow as OUTPUT-Flow!
I don't know if we keep it that way maybe we display both directions in the future but make the output-flow-textboxes red and the input-flow-textboxes green but show all linked Flows.

I have forgotten something to check:
There is also a *Snap To grid* when you edit a connection line.
So when you now select a Connection on a Diagram and Drag a Edge-Point or a hole piece of the connection line => it will snap relative to its initial state in 10 px's ... in both/all directions. So you can move the point, but as it snaps relatively to its _initial_ state you can also easily find again the initial position.
This makes it much easier to design a diagram when you need to change the connection lines.
Also you can disable this *Snap to grid* when you press any key. Then you can freely drag it.
I also tweaked the selection box for connection-lines a bit, to make sure that the buttons to delete or edit connector-Text do no overlap any edge-points of the connection line.
