Bug Report (?) : Time Zones (minor but very annoying)
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 1:23 pm
Hey guys!
Long-time user, first time caller, blah blah blah you hear it all the time.
Currently on a nice little deployment from the states, somewhere in "Southwest Asia."
Decided to edit and add a bunch of dives that I've done in the past, from scans in the logbook, etc.
I'm from near New York, and all the dives I'm trying to add are from that time zone. However, when I edit the dives, MacDive keeps assigning the "Asia - Dubai" time zone to the field, which is continually messing up all the times that I've entered!!
Okay, no big deal, right? I can just change the time zone back to "America - New York," re-input the times, and let it be saved, right??
Unfortunately not. Every time I am scrolling through dives on the edit page, it would re-assign each one I've inputted to the Dubai time zone.
I'm assuming it's because my Macbook is set to Dubai time, since that's the timezone I'm currently deployed in.
The only fix I've found is to change my Mac's time zone manually to New York, and then the MacDive timezones stay in New York.
But then: all the dives that I'm trying to edit for OTHER time zones, keep going to New York!
So my big question: Is this a annoying bug, or some auto-convert feature that I don't quite fully understand how to use...?
Other than that, MacDive has been pretty rad to use. I'll post a few feature requests (*cough*rebreather support) sometime in the proper forum.
Thanks for being awesome, guys and making a (mostly) kickass product!
