Need to dive more!
SW Cloud seems to be needing some user-input.
I've complied requests (features and fixes) from a couple of recent threads to help try and focus things.
I'm a very 'light' SWC user and never used SW Desktop as a Teric was my first SW computer. I've not used other dive software (and my 'need' for that detail is low) hence my input is limited, but my desire (as a SW fan) is to see SWC be as respected as their computers are.
Please constructively contribute.
The shopping list:
To take the best features from SW Desktop. What are these?
To borrow the best features from other dive software. What are these?
To display the battery voltage info for the AI transmitter. Post 5 below from @CWK
To have the ability to turn SWC into a Stand Alone mode (with no dive or user data shared with the 'cloud'/external server). Even the Sync Button is pushed, it asks the user to alter the 'Stand Alone' mode first. Reason: for those that don't want to share any of their dive data with an external server/cloud. Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud <-post #7 @TrimixToo
problem of some OC dives being reported as CC. - Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud <-post #4 @TerryC
ability to print black font / what background: Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud <-- post #7 @rsingler Perhaps have a dark mode / light (white) mode toggle switch. Post #1 @FlyinV
Improved font clarity / dd various font (and background colour) options.
Speed of file transfers: "Horribly slow on both Android and and PC importing, syncing, or loading my database of several hundred dives. Minutes of waiting." Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud <-- post #8 @davehicks - isn't this a first time issue. then after that it's just the marginal # of dives?
@davehicks "I have never been able to sync and download dives from my Predators and Petrel2 comp. Both Android and PC version will connect the computer but hang or error out attempting to transfer."
Ability to manually check for updates Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud <post 16 @flyingv
Ability to set SWC to auto-sync upon opening / launching. Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud post #28 @Aaron Harmon
Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud fix: "entering dive notes is weird in that it is a tiny box on the side and you have to scroll down as you are writing to see what is being typed." Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud post #31 @Motoman4540 and Love me some Shearwater...but Cloud sucks
Default / set as a preference to the same 'gear/exuipment input' to every [subsequent] dive if gear is previously entered [until it's not entered / backspaced / deleted]. Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud post #31 @Motoman4540
Ability to add a photo video into a Dive. Shearwater Desktop vs Shearwater Cloud post #31 @Motoman4540 - preferably with all metadata (inc GPS) attached.
Minor thing: to narrow the implicit y-axis scale for temperature (a few degrees change still looks like a straight line) - me.
To graph ascent and descent rates on chart. me.
Fix: expanding the graph too much eliminates the summary box when the graph is clicked. - me
To have SurfGF on chart- it's coming - me.
On iPhone, to be able to see and select all the graph options / selections (currently only 6 out of 9 are visible)
To be able to chart and export certain data types across multiple dives. e.g. how has my SAC looked over time - me.
To be able to enter tank data (and easily copy it across dives) so we can change from bar/min <-> =litres/min. (at surface pressure). New Teric and nitpicking @oceancurrent post76
SWC still uses a fair bit of CPU despite it doing nothing. Seems to be an old 'issue': - me. Cloud Desktop runs HOT on MacBook Pro . . . .
