[kepler-users] rename actor in kar file

[Jianwu Wang]

  Hi Chris,

     I can not reproduce this error. Would you please help me on the 
following questions? Thanks.

     1, Do you mean 'Nondeterministic Merge' actor? I didn't find 
'Deterministic Merge' in Kepler 2.0.
     2, Where is the input port you can not save its attribute? The 
composite actor encapsulating the 'Nondeterministic Merge' actor?

     I put a 'Nondeterministic Merge' actor into a composite actor, 
added a input port to the composite actor and configured it to be 
Multi-port, save the composite actor as a kar. When I opened the kar 
file, the input port was still Multi-port.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
