Subject: Defining Shapes - Error Message about "Several Object Types"

Hi All,
I'm trying to define some custom shapes for myself and I think I'm getting
there, however I'm running into a few problems.
To explain what I'm doing - I'm placing new shapes in my
/usr/share/dia/shapes/MYSHAPES directory.
When I use "sheets and objects" to load my new shapes I get an error message
for each one that says:
***Error***
Several Object types were named shapes - 'shape-name'.
Only the first one will be used
Some things might not work as expected
***end Error***
I can assure you that I only have one .shape file for each shape in the
MYSHAPES directory. I do have a corresponding .png file for each .shape file
- however I tried changing the name of these, but this didn't work.
This error message is then repeated for each custom shape when I start dia up
- so I'll get 7 error messages when dia starts at the moment, one for each of
my 7 shapes. I can use the shapes without any problem, I'm just wondering
what I'm doing wrong to get the error message. I've got a lot more shapes to
make yet, so I'm going to end up with a lot of error messages each time Dia
loads.
Thanks for any help.
David
