Time support and other problems

Post by icpps »

Update to 2.x. version has been a big disappointment. One of the biggest problems is so called time "support". Whenever my computer changes time zone, all the times in my log change as well. This is very frustrating. I do not want use UCT or GMT in my log, but actual times at actual places. Is there any way to deal with this?

Other problems:
Adding Dive sites, countriers etc. is really quite jobby. You have to write country and location over and over again, no automatic functions here., Why? Why can´t I add sites directly to my log?
After last import, ten first dives in my log just disappeared. Where and why? Anybody had this problem?

You already sent me a similar email, but for the forum -

I'm not sure how this is a big disappointment, given that it works exactly the same way as v1. As I said, it's on the to-do list to be fixed.

After a lot of really great and constructive feedback (look through the forums) there have been a bunch of improvements in this area, and it's now only slightly less easy than it was in v1. But the upshot is that sites are much more flexible and powerful now, allowing for more advanced features to be built on top of them. What's so much more difficult? In the dive inspector, you can add a country, location and site as you could in v1, the only difference is you have to click "create". But if the site already exists, you don't need to type it, you can already select it. You can still do this for multiple dives. If you're adding multiple sites, the country and location will still exist and you can just change the site name and keep clicking create.

I see you have sent me your data files, so I will take a look at this for you.
