#31 GML writer and special string characters
The GML writer or reader (or both) process special characters, especially the _"_ not correctly. When saving a graph with a tooltip text which contains such special characters, the corresponding graph may not be loaded correctly any more.
E.g. a tooltip text _test="3"_ would appear as _test=\\\\\"3\\\\\", with incorrect escaping of the special characters.
This problem was found with a file, created with an unknown VANTED version.
Eventually it would be a good idea to include a string like "Created with VANTED Vx.x by (username)" inside the created GML files.
This Bug was fixed, by escaping the '"' character to '\"', both when reading and writing (copy&paste included).
Also alternative labels are considered.
