How to import large number of old dives ?

Post by Muz »

I've just started to use MacDive and have been able ti import all my recent dives into MacDive from DiveLog on my iPhone.

However - I'd like to now keep all my dives in one place and have 100+ older dives from paper log books etc that I'd like to also enter into MacDive. Entering them all via the user interface will drive me mad and I only have limited data from these older dives.

Can you provide ...
1- a simple template in XLS format (or something similar) where I can enter the essential data needed to maintain the referential integrity of the MacDive ?
2 - a (simple?) process to then import these older dives ?

I'm sure many may find this useful.

Thanks.

1. UDCF File
2. Drag and drop it to MacDive

Can't be too much easier!

You could replace #1 with a Suunto Dive Manager 2.x logbook if UDCF doesn't contain all of the information you need. Depends what you track. Both formats are really just XML. I can send you samples of both if you contact me via email.
