Hah, just remembered that I already asked for this once

Hi! Good to have you back, nick! I have a small request: could you please add the "Notes" field to the XML import and export of dive sites? And perhaps also the "Altitude" field? These are the only 2 editable fields that can not be imported or exported. I have a fairly extensive ...

Hi!

I noticed that the XML format for dive sites neither contains a field for notes/description, nor for altitude (https://www.mac-dive.com/help/mac_03_05_sharing.php).

Would it be possible to add that, both for import and for export?

Thank you!

@nick: bit old, but could you please upload the DTD?

It's not really a bug, just a limitation I beg to differ. It shows that my dive gear cost tens of thousands of Euros. While I would certainly be happy to have such equipment, I don't. What I tend to do is convert it to my local currency manually and then include a note on the original price. This i...

Generating the QR code itself is trivial, but the user ids and things complicate matters. If it was good enough to generate a code without the user id or site id and potentially just have a list of divetype, weather, etc, then it's probably not that much work to throw up a basic image view with a c...

In the divers section, the application shows the total number of pieces of dive gear owned, along with the summarized cost. Each piece of gear can have a price attached to it, along with a currency. My dive gear was purchased in different countries, and therefore in different currencies. The summary...

Huh, interesting. I'm not aware of having sent an email to you. Perhaps it was somebody else? I did actually write a small Python application in the meantime that creates such a QR code from an XML export of MacDive. I'll clean it up and put it on GitHub. This is enough for my needs and perhaps some...

I also like to track my dives in the SSI log (for certifications) but obviously MacDive is my primary log. It would be great if MacDive could generate an SSI compatible QR code, so that I can just scan the code with the SSI app. The QR format is super simple. Here's an example, converted to text for...

I would love to see that too!
