Hallo Tom,

Schöne Grüße,

Why can the logbook not sit inside the main window like in 5.0? I liked that feature.
Hi David
The feature was called MDI Windows and this is unfortunately not supported in WPF applications. I’ll see if I can find a replacement for that, but there is no official support in the framework.
Sven, Multiple cyls not pulled over from 5 log and even if i add them the SAC/RMV just doesnt look right as i added cyls. you have a deco calc, planner?
Hi Carl
What do you mean by “pulled over”? Have you imported your dives from the 5.0 logbook? That’s not the best way, just copy the whole logbook file and open it with Diving Log 6.0.
If you’re using your actual 5.0 logbook file or a copy of the whole file, please send me your logbook file via email and tell me which dive is not correct. When you add additional tanks, you actually have to add them also to the profile, otherwise they’re not used or treated as sidemount tanks in the SAC calculation.
For deco calculations, please see here: http://www.divinglog.de/blog/?p=1553
