Readable IDs vs GUIDs
I just upgraded gdotv from 0.9.x to 1.18.49 to check if an unexpected result still persists.
However, the query results with the GUIDs make them near impossible to read. There's no way to check the result against the images of the modern dataset.
Is there a way to get the old, normal IDs back (v1, v2, etc)?

Thanks for bringing it up, it's definitely something i hadn't thought of! Keep em coming 😁

hey @wiebe i think this is a gdotv related question you have here. We moved from numeric id's to GUIDs for some compatibility reasons, what you can do on the graph display is change the display rule for vertices to use a vertex property (e.g. name, label, etc) instead of the ID, this should make things a lot more readable in turn
in the docs (https://docs.gdotv.com/stylesheet-management/#vertex-stylesheet-options) the option in question is "Label Display Rule"

Thank, but isn't that a huge issue when comparing results with the (online) documentation?
Is this just for gdotv? Would a terminal to a docker image give the original IDs?
Yeah, this is a gdotv specific thing
It's a valid point you're making though, i could make this configurable
Thanks, I'll look into alternatives, to use in conjunction with gdotv (which is great).
Also for communicating in discord, it's quite a mouth full to post those GUIDs.
