[kepler-dev] svg for my actor

[Chris Weed]

forgot to CC this to the list....

Hi Chad,
I don't see how to set the entityId in the composition GUI, but I see
in the MoML file
"urn:lsid:kepler-project.org:actor:449:1", which is the LSID for the
CompositeActor,
and another CompositeActor in my MoML file has the same LSID.
I want these two CompositeActorS to have different icons.
Can I just set these values to two different LSIDs, and is there a way
to get/set
the entityId from the GUI?

I am using the developer build.
Chris
