Jumped, now some requests

Hi,
After an initial looksee earlier this year at MacDive & purchase of the Desktop & iOS version I have now committed to replacing the previous product I was using (DiveLogDT) with MacDive, there have been a few teething troubles (equipment service dates didn't transfer, nor did the associated notes or my buddy contact details) but I am working through them and overall I love the product, particularly the support for photos, the tagging/smart lists & the statistics graphs.
However there are a few things I miss & wonder if you might consider adding them
1) 'Trips' - this offers the ability to link a group of dives with a specific excursion, I know you can tag dives in MacDive to group them but 'Trips' in DiveLogDT also allowed specifying dates, divers, details & a photo & you could assign an overall rating
2) 'Shops' We all end up with our favourite dive equipment supplier so I found it really useful to be able to link who you purchased equipment from with an entry for the supplier with all the details & your personal comments about the supplier
3) Sites/Equipment/Dives pop-up - it would be nice to be able to resize the pop-up window used to view details of these. At the moment if there are a lot of details there's a lot of scrolling onvolved
4) Divers - 'List view' does not work
5) On the iOS app it would be nice to be able to choose to display the photo area for Tags/Smart Logs or not, or at least shrink it, at the moment you only just about get 2 on a screen - I love the idea though!
Other than that as I said, great work!
