[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7.0 and Waypoint Symbols

[Harry G McGavran Jr]

I've been watching for 1.7.0 to get packaged for
distribution and noticed that the source tarball
package finally showed up on www.qgis.org.

So I tried it and what I've seen is very nice.

I was looking around to see if there is any way
to get 1.7.0 to pay attention to the XML "sym"
tags in gpx waypoint files.  With the ability
to add symbol svg files in paths I specify that
is in 1.7.0 I can load symbols that correspond the
the names specified in the "sym" tags.  Is there
a way to get QGIS to use those?  Generally,
each waypoint in such a gpx file uses different "sym"
tags depending on the waypoint.  It would be very nice
to have QGIS render the right images for each of
those waypoints that are in one gpx waypoint file
given that I have made svg files for those symbols.

Is this possible and if so how?  I've looked around
for this in the help and on line, but haven't found
a way yet.
