If your project requires to have dedicated include pathes you probably
also have a build system from which you can take the required pathes at
once.
With cmake on linux for example you may run make VERBOSE=1 and grep the
pathes from the build line with sed or gawk script to get a ':'
seperated list (';' on windows) or you may use this hint
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6902149/listing-include-directories-in-cmake
to let cmake print the used directories. Entering all this pathes into a
list box in the umbrello gui may be the harder way.
On the other hand would it be nice to let umbrello fetch the related
directories directly from the build system but this needs someone to
implement this stuff. If the current support is not enough for you feel
free to open a related feature request.

You are refering to move more than one entry from the tree view into a
single diagram - please open a related feature request if not present or
vote a present one.

2.23.1 is the last one - I release it a few days before.
