Hi,

I have a problem with filter names being reset to default hardcoded values when a new Indi client is connecting.
The problem is only present if the CCD camera "Snoop device" Filter is set to the filter wheel. Setting this to a non existent value fix the problem.
If I remember correctly I first remark this problem in December and it is still present using today ppa.

I have first this issue using an EFW2 with an Atik314 but I can reproduce the problem with the ccd and wheel simulator.
To reproduce:
- start the server with indiserver indi_simulator_ccd indi_simulator_wheel
- connect a graphical client, connect both ccd and filter simulator
- check that CCD snoop filter is Filter Simulator
- Set some nice name for the filter names
- connect to the server with telnet localhost 7624
- from telnet send <getProperties version='1.7'/>
- notice that after the defTextVector with the correct names you finally receive "<setTextVector device="Filter Simulator" name="FILTER_NAME"..." with the hardcoded names
- the graphical client is also updated with the default value as everyone receive this setTextVector

Is this a bug or do I not understand something with the Snoop devices ?

It was not a snooping problem per se, but GetFIlterName(..) was being invoked when getProperties is called and hence it was reloading the hardcoded value. I committed a quick fix. Please git pull and let me know if you still have the problem.

Yes the last git fix the problem, now the customized filter name are kept.
Thank you Jasem.
