I am pleased to announce that I've finally managed to release the first version of gns3-converter.

What is gns3-converter
GNS3 Converter is designed to convert old ini-style GNS3 topologies (<=0.8.7) to the newer version v1+ JSON format for use in GNS3 v1+

How do I get it?
If you are on Linux... the easiest way to install gns3-converter is to use the pip command.
Code:
pip3 install gns3-converter


If you are on Windows... https://github.com/dlintott/gns3-converter/releases

If you are on Mac... Thankyou to ddarby for these instruction:

How do I use it
Rather than retyping it all here I'd suggest taking a look at the documentation here: http://gns3-converter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I've found a bug
Well done! I expect there will be lots more! Bugs can reported over at GitHub: https://github.com/dlintott/gns3-converter/issues

This also happened to me, the converter seems to be trying to process 'NOTE' and 'SHAPE' elements from the old topology as devices. A quick fix is to change line 70 of topology.py, found in the gns3-converter package folder, to:
Code:
        if instance != 'GNS3-DATA' and 'NOTE' and 'SHAPE' and \

This makes the converter ignore these elements and continue as 'normal' ('NOTE' and 'SHAPE' elements are just annotation and are not needed for the topology to function). Alternatively you could delete them from the old topologies topology.net file before attempting conversion.

Thanks for the report! I knew there would something that I'd missed (very difficult to imagine all the combinations that might appear in a topology!)

I shall endeavour to get the 'NOTE' and 'SHAPE' bug fixed in the next few days (https://github.com/dlintott/gns3-converter/issues/1)

Thank you for the feedback!
