Template Manager and Equipment Revision

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

In the latest update I’ve finally included the Template Manager. It enables you to quickly update several dives at once, even though this is now also possible using the new table editor. If you are not familiar with the template function, I recommend you watch this video tutorial from the support website. To access the template manager, you can click in the “Logbook” menu the “Template Manager” item, or in the logbook window, the small dialog launcher button in the Ribbon.

In this update I’ve fixed also a bug which could crash the application on Windows XP, when interacting with the dive profile. The equipment service reminder is now also included. To activate it, check the box in the equipment dialog. As soon as the revision date for one or more items is within the time span you have set, the Welcome Center will pop up during startup and the equipment items were displayed. When you click an item it will be shown in the equipment dialog.

Diving Log 5.0 – Equipment

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

I’ve finished the dive equipment management window which is also the window for country, city, dive site and buddy management, so including the other data is straightforward. There are some small but nice improvements:

Keyboard shortcuts enable adding and editing data without ever touching the mouse. Simply press Ctrl-N for adding a new item, the cursor jumps automatically into the first field. When you’ve entered the data press Ctrl-S to save the data. With the Del key you can delete one or more items.

The new instant search field in the upper right corner (Ctrl-F put the cursor into the box) lets you filter the displayed data in the list, which is useful for long lists like dive sites.

In order to view images like the equipment photo or the dive site map properly I’ve added a new built-in lightweight image viewer. You can view any image just by clicking it with the mouse when you see the magnifier cursor.

The Image Viewer can be used across the whole application, e.g. by clicking the certification images, in the logbook table or from the logbook photo section. Currently it has only some basic features, but I want to add more features in future like a thumbnail view, printing and a slideshow.
