Just got MacDive - really nice app. Have a question. I downloaded bunch of dives for the last several years, and didn't set the owner on the device. As a result, all the dives are imported with the "New Diver". Any way to bulk assign them to self?

Thanks!

Good day to you melizarov!

If you are working on the Mac version of the software you can select multiple dives in the dive list using Shift+Click or Cmd+Click and then open the Inspection window (details window) by clicking on the i inside a circle at the top or by right clicking on one of the selected dives and choosing "Edit selected dives" from the pop-up menu. In the dive details window that opens any changes you make, like changing the diver, will be applied to all of the selected dives.

Hopefully that helps.

Have a great day!

Hey Melizarov,

Just wanted to jump in here, Shadallark’s advice is spot on. On the Mac version, you can select multiple dives with Shift+Click or Cmd+Click, then use the “Edit selected dives” option to change the owner for all those dives at once. It’s a handy way to fix that “New Diver” issue without having to update each dive individually.

Hope that helps you get it sorted out!
