Re: SAC and RMV?

I have renamed SAC to RMV, because it was technically wrong, and has been for years, and added SAC as an extra in a couple of places (like the gas tab). This will be in the next update. I haven't done iOS yet, but I will look in to that. And that, folks, is an example of why MacDive is such a great...

Re: SAC and RMV?

The sac on the gases screen is actually rmv. I'm aware that there's conflicting terminology when it comes to RMV and SAC. Divers commonly think of RMV as being expressed in units of volume/minute and SAC as being expressed in units of pressure/minute. Since "volume" is right there in the ...

SAC and RMV?

There are convincing reasons that some prefer to use SAC while others prefer RMV. There are different use cases for these computed values, so the same diver might want to have both values available. Given that it's mildly tedious to convert from SAC to RMV or vice-versa and that computers tend to do...

Re: Cloud Sync doesn't appear to do anything

Me, too! nick got the beta to me immediately, but I've been in Cozumel since then. Cable internet speed to my house is deplorable, so the fact that I haven't succeeded in getting Sync to work with the new version is consistent with the fact that I haven't been able to get any other things to sync or...

Re: Cloud Sync doesn't appear to do anything

I actually have tried this a couple of times. If I delete the Macdive directories from my Dropbox, re-enabling Sync will cause creation of empty directories under Apps/Macdive, but it seems not to do anything beyond that. If I disable and re-enable Sync without deleting the directories, I can't see ...

Cloud Sync doesn't appear to do anything

In Macdive 2.5.1, Cloud Sync doesn't appear to do anything useful. It creates a few directories in my Dropbox folder, but nothing seems to appear in them. The dialog box in Maldive continues to show last date synced as "never" and clicking the Sync Now button doesn't appear to do anything....

Aughhh!

That is almost certainly my issue. I'd set this up long enough ago that I forgot an OS X alias wouldn't work. I'll set up proper symbolic links when I can get at her MacBook later.

Re: Using MacDive on 2-3 computers

I'm using the latest update for Yosemite and the latest Dropbox.

Keep in mind, though, that this seems to happening with a linked directory in any location, not just when it's in Dropbox.

Re: Using MacDive on 2-3 computers

All Macs are using the same version of MacDive2, 2.3.5. The error I get when replacing the default MacDive data directory with a link to a different location is: The item couldn’t be opened because the file name “MacDive.sqlite” is invalid. If I just move the MacDive directory from Dropbox to the de...

Re: Using MacDive on 2-3 computers

I use the Dropbox method and it works fine for my MacBook and my account on the family iMac but causes a crash on my wife's MacBook. It reports an error about an invalid macdive.sqlite even though it works fine on my computers and worked fine on hers before the change in database format.
