Hi,

Thanks for the information. What I am trying to say can be best shown with the attached screenshot...

I moved my mouse to the right of the graph and it shows '04:12' in the middle of the screen while the duration column at the bottom shows only the '4'.

cheers
Eric

note: Duration (column) of selected dive shows '4' while it shows correctly 04:12 in the middle of the screenshot.

I know exactly what you mean. It's still not an "easy" thing to change, for the reasons I outlined. It will happen in the next major patch.

Thought you all might like to know this is now implemented and will be in the next patch. The graph is also improved for shorter dives, so it's a bit nicer for freedives. Your old data will be updated also.

No ETA yet, as there are a bunch of other things to do first. This is just a heads up that I didn't forget about it :)

I wouldn't mind a couple of people to beta test this as it's a fairly large change (internally). If anyone is interested, please drop me an email. You'd just need to back up your existing data as a precaution, as the new db is no longer compatible with the current one.

Hi Glenn!

Works great here too. Nick added a couple of more small things that work especially well for our short freedives.

I'm getting there - unfortunately some of these changes impact a lot of areas, so it's going to take a little longer than usual. Also working on an extra couple of little bits with Eric, so there should be some interesting stuff all around.
