What version are you using?
OP
2.3.0

I have an old version and the new version. They are both a pain! Honestly, I like the old version better. The new one is NOT user friendly. Unfortunately, I have not mastered it yet (maybe never will) and cannot advise you on it. I know people who will only use the older version, ignoring their newer logs.
Too bad.....great computers, lousy log manager.

I use 2.3.0
1) To add locations - expand your username on the top left hand corner by clicking on the plus sign and you should see a locations node. Right click the locations node and you will see a submenu with "Add Location", "Add Dive Site", etc.
2) To add equipment - expand your username on the top left hand corner by clicking on the plus sign and you should see a dive gear node. Right click the dive gear node and you will see a submenu. Select "Add Dive Item".
3) To add pictures - once you've completed #1 and added dive locations and dive sites you can select the dive site under the locations node and you will see a picture field with a "Browse" button so you can find the image on your computer's hard drive.
Hope this helps.

I figured out how to browse for a picture, but it wouldnt upload to the manager.
Weird I just tried it with jpegs of different sizes and it worked. What type are you using bitmap/gif/jpeg and what size image.
Cheers.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that prefers the older verison of dive manager, much more user friendly!
v1 has a much better method of displaying the summary/lists, is a lot easier to use, less bloated.
I cant list a single improvment v2 made over v1 except maybe that the DB is now stored in access format so should be possible to write 3rd party software to utilise this.
