I may just push a quicker update that adds a configurable default, since in general I was somewhat unsure and had frankly thought someone would just say something otherwise (which you have now, so thanks for that).
I'm also working on a feature that brings templated nodes/links to the weathermap, so you can plop down a bunch of links and nodes and simply change how they look / their units / their setup based on some templates you've created (which essentially means much easier defaults for everything), so this should be ironed out even better sooner or later.
I've added new default link units and the ability to reset all existing links to the default units (since I had been setting the default on each individual link previously, so this is necessary to override that). Will be released within the week with v0.3.4.
Hi,
it looks like 8373e2af609432938b97d14bf988f19df5dcc81a changed the default data rate units from SI (Gbps etc.) to IEC (Gibps etc.) This is a surprising choice. I think network data rates use SI everywhere, and Wikipedia seems to agree. My 100G links are now marked with 93.1 Gibps, which seems rather silly. I see this can be overridden per link, but that's a lot of work and I'd much rather change the default. I don't see a way to do that currently, though.
Would it be possible to change the default units to SI and/or make the default configurable?
Thanks for your work on this very useful plugin.
