OH - I thought you were one of the designers.
That would be me - I'm actually the maintainer of the Subsurface project
It was so easy to download Suunto's divelogs - and it was Suunto's program (DM4 & DM5) that is so terrible !!!!
I guess I'll just stay with my other program - (Oceanic) for the Oceanic Veo 250. It's OK, but I was hoping to combine the two into Subsurface. I don't want too complicated, and it seems like it is getting to be a hassle with no "easy answer".
But I am very very very happy to get away from Suunto's mess and download my VYTEC to Subsurface.
I have not the slightest idea why you think this is hard.
I suggested that you ask for help on our forum (this way others can chime in and other users can later see the answers), but I'm happy to help you here.
So, at one point you asked about downloading from the Veo 250 and creating a new divelog for it.
I suggested you try to simply load it into the SAME divelog. Subsurface is specifically designed to handle data from multiple dive computers in the same dive entry. This way you only have to enter things like Location, Buddy, suit, viz, weights, gear, etc. ONCE. If you have two log files you need to do that twice. That seems very wasteful to me. But hey, maybe you like that.
As I said in my previous answer, simply close your current log file and download from the Veo. When you then save the logfile you can give a different name to it. And then you will have both of these files in the
File Menu so you can easily switch back and forth between them.
In another post you asked about importing your existing log from that horrible piece of crap software that Oceanic afflicts on its customers. I personally find this to be among the worst that's out there. Sadly it only provides two rather bad options for exporting your data, txt and DL7. You should be able to import the TXT file into Subsurface, but you may need some help from us - I'm not sure if the CSV importer will be able to parse the file without minor modifications...
If you want to go down this path, feel free to contact us at our forum and we'll be happy to help -

i agree
according the user forum, the Atomic support is broken in 4.2 version.
It's actually just missing from the Windows installer. I simply need to recreate that binary. It works on Mac and Linux.
a "repaired" version exists, you can try it at your own risk.

This should recognize the Cobalt 2
Yeah, that's a daily build (as the path indicates). It has some rough edges and new features on our way to 4.3
Feel free to try that - but if you'd rather stay safe I'll update the 4.2 binaries later today.
Edited to add: yep, those are up now. Simply re-download the Windows installer and re-install and the support for the Atomics Aquatics Cobalt should magically work
