Temperatures converted when a record entry is duplicated

When I duplicate a record entry using CMD-SHIFT-D, the new records has Temp Low and Temp High changed to another value. It looks like it's failing to convert these fields to the current user display units, or performing some other conversion on these values.
For instance, if I duplicate an entry that has Temp (High) and Temp (Low) values at 78.0
The new duplicated records have these values at 168.8

Ah, good catch. I will get this fixed up for the next release.

I believe that this tab view requires quite a bit of testing related to unit conversion. I've entered 56 dives and I believe there are other cases where the units get messed up, but I'm not yet familiar enough with the app to find the exact cases where they get modified.
I also believe the imperial pressures should use the PSI units instead of bars? At least that would be far more helpful for me since, all of my readings are in PSI.
I wish it was clearer overall which fields were involved in calculations such as SAC Rate.
For instance, if I am editing the duration field in the table view by double clicking the value, this value changes the Bottom Time duration, and I can see that SAC Rate be recalculated as I change the value. But if I am editing the values in the the record view window, the SAC Rate is calculated on the more tab and that tab has it's own duration value that is specific to the tank. There seems to be no connection between this tank duration and the overall Bottom Time duration. It seems like these durations should be connected all the time if both of them are going to be used for SAC Rate calculation. Or perhaps this is a bug and you are doing the SAC Rate calculation is two different places, using two different value inputs?

It does. Restart, this is simply a display bug I never fixed (when changing units).

The help covers this, see Managing Tanks And Gases.
