Not all symbols are equal!!

This is another debatable one (as to whether this should be solved by GNS3 or the converter)

Most of my topologies have PC icons in them. However, these have been produced by various versions of GNS3. IN some cases, topology.net says:

[GNS3-DATA]
    configs = configs
    [[Cloud C1]]
        symbol = Host

and sometimes it says:

[GNS3-DATA]
    configs = configs
    [[Cloud C1]]
        symbol = computer

for exactly the same device. In either case, GNS3 v0.8.6/7 can handle it.

But it seems that GNS3 v1 does not understand:

"default_symbol": ":/symbols/Host.normal.svg",

"hover_symbol": ":/symbols/Host.selected.svg",

However, if I change these respectively to:

"default_symbol": ":/symbols/computer.normal.svg",
"hover_symbol": ":/symbols/computer.selected.svg",

...then my topologies look fine in GNS3 v1

So the bottom line is... could you (as part of your conversion process) watch out for:

    symbol = Host

and treat it as if it said:

    symbol = computer

TIA

(Sorry for being such a pain - I think this is the last one. Of course the alternative is to suggest to the GUI team to add Host.normal.svg and Host.selected.svg to the symbol library) CW
