Diving Log 5.0 – Latest updates

The beta version is now since two weeks online and I’ve updated it about 3 or 4 times during this period (I just uploaded a new version). I want to give you a quick overview about some of the changes (I’ve done also a lot of small changes not mentioned here):

  • Bug fix for Oceanlog 2 and Sherwood import
  • Improved import for Delta P ProDive
  • Improved UDDF import for HeinrichsWeikamp DR 5
  • Improved Mares DRAK import for air integrated computers
  • Import added for the new Shearwater Desktop beta program
  • Divelogs.eu upload bugs fixed
  • Welcome Center added
  • Info dialog added
  • Compact database function added
  • Print engine runtime files updated with service pack
  • Localized more parts of the UI
  • Profile info panel added
  • Default gas icons added
  • Added a few more buttons to the profile ribbon tab

There are still some features missing, e.g. the MySQL export and upload, the profile section of the logbook is not complete (split and merge dives, export profile data, edit profile, red cursor line with auto scrolling, the compass, templates). I’ll add these features during the next weeks.

Overall the beta test is very positive, only a few minor bugs were discovered up till now. There seems to be a problem with the print function and designer when Diving Log 4.0 and 5.0 are running at the same time or on the same computer. If you discover some instability with the print function or designer in version 5.0, it is very likely that it is caused by version 4.0.

The new profile info panel and gas icon panel are hidden by default. You must either drag and drop them from the hidden items in the customization window, or download the “Extended Layout.xml” file and open it in the layout tab in the logbook window.

    Hi Sven,

    following expression in report designer fails:

    if (isnull(LogDepthAvg) or LogDepthAvg=0, “–“, “i. M. “+Str$ (LogDepthAvg,0,2) + ” m”)

    Since your last update it returns — though an average depth is given.
