New version of the free (open source) Subsurface divelog

[dirkhh]

I tried again and it works, but there are a number of problems. I reported those in trac. If you need it I can send you my DLD file.

What is the best place for feature requests and non-technical discussion of subsurface? The mailing list seems geared towards the programmers, not directly useful for ordinary users.

Trac is a good place for feature requests.

We are looking into creating a user forum at one of the major boards. Stay tuned.

Is the program compatible with exporting to any of the Android Dive Logs? (such as Dive Log)

There are SO MANY dive log programs and web sites and half of them appear to be named dive[ing]log or some other variation of that. Can you point me at the specific one you mean?

Divinglog 5 (windows) exports to Dive Log by Rob Knapen, which is quite nice.

Really promising, congrat. I tried it with an xml import from MacDive, few missing information but not a big deal. I really like the GF profile on each dive but didn't find the way to add tank switch into a dive

If the tank change was in your MacDive data or was imported from the dive computer, it should be shown in Subsurface.
I have now seen a number of reports that the Mac binary may suffer from a similar import problem as the Windows one, so it is possible that the MacDive import was incomplete... can you tell me which information is missing?
And finally, yes, manually adding a gas switch is on our list of things to implement for Subsurface 3.1

Dive Log does look really nice. I need to install this on my phone
I just sent email to the developer, asking him for more information on data exchange - it's certainly something we are actively enabling for many other dive logs...

We now have confirmed that the Mac binaries suffer from a similar import issue as the Windows binaries.

Our testers are mainly developers, they are mainly on Linux - so the two installers didn't get enough scrutiny. I'd love to see some Windows and Mac users join our mailing list and help us do better testing before we do releases. If you decide to do so, please send a "Hello" email to the mailing list so we know that we have new testers and can point you in the right direction.

Speaking of releases - I'll do a 3.0.1 update release in the next couple of days that should address the import issues.

This should fix the reported bugs around imports from other divelog software.

Really impressive app. I may have just stopped using Macdive, however not sure if the import bug is completely squashed. I exported 97 dives out of Macdive and only 71 turned up in Subsurface.

Could you report this on trac.hohndel.org - ideally with your MacDive file attached? Or (for understandable privacy concerns) report on trac and then send me email with the MacDive file?

Since import is one of the big new features and is very important for people coming from other platforms this is something that we are quite interested in getting right

/D.

I tried but the tracker inly allows files up to 250k to be attached. The zipped export is only 360k but still too big.

Let me fix this in trac. In the meantime, feel free to send this to me via email. dirk at tracker website without 'trac' (silly attempt to make it harder to harvest my email for spam purposes...)
