Updates for Windows & Android

Friday, January 12th, 2024

I wish you all a Happy New Year! I’ve released new updates for Windows & Android with the following new features:

Windows:

  • Downloader: Scubapro G3, Luna 2.0 & Luna 2.0 AI support
  • Downloader: Aqualung i330R & Apeks DSX support (Beta)
  • Downloader: Mares Bluetooth improvements
  • Logbook Table: Layout is preserved during refresh
  • Logbook Table: Save and restore layout
  • Logbook: Dive computer skins
  • Logbook: Supply Type Field
  • Logbook: Buddy selection order preserved
  • Details Data: Checkbox selection preserved during refresh & search

Android:

  • Downloader: Scubapro G3, Luna 2.0 & Luna 2.0 AI support
  • Downloader: Aqualung i330R & Apeks DSX support (Beta)
  • Downloader: Mares Bluetooth improvements
  • Compass in map window
  • Merge dive profiles
  • Scrollable statistic charts

Logbook Table:

Logbook Table Layout

If you modify the table layout (e.g. by grouping, removing or reordering the columns), the layout will be now automatically preserved during saves and refreshes. You can also save and load different table layouts manually with the 3 buttons marked in the screenshot above. That way you can have different layouts depending on the task you’re trying to to.

Logbook Window:

Dive computer skins

You can now load different dive computer skins by right clicking the virtual display. Unfortunately it is not so easy to create different skins in the XAML language, but I’ve created and uploaded a few skins as an example and maybe some users are able to create more skins.

Several Improvements

There is a new field “Supply Type” available in the logbook layout editor, which allows you to switch between OC, CCR etc. for the first tank directly in the logbook without going to the Gas & Tank window.

When you select buddies from the buddy details window by clicking the checkboxes, the order will be now used in the logbook window (instead of sorting alphabetically). The checkboxes will be now preserved in the details window when using the search function (this is for all detail data types).

Android Compass:

Show Compass

Compass maximized

The map window on Android has now a full featured compass included. You can show it from the menu and tap on it to maximize it to full screen. In full screen you can rotate the outer ring with your finger for advanced navigation.

In the dive profile screen, you can now merge two dive profiles, e.g. when you’ve surfaced during a dive:

Merge Profiles

You can now scroll certain statistic charts in the Android app, e.g. the Years Chart. Swiping on the chart area scrolls slowly, on the x-axis is fast scrolling. There are also new scrollable chart types, which you may already know from the Windows version:

Diving Log 6.0.26 released

Sunday, August 28th, 2022

The next update for Diving Log 6.0 has been released and contains the following new features and improvements:

  • Automatically assign dives to trips
  • Details Window: New dives tab
  • Map: Right click flag > Show Dives
  • Downloader: Cressi Michelangelo & Donatello, Seac Screen & Action, Shearwater Perdix 2 & Petrel 3, Sherwood Amphos Air 2.0, Ratio iX3M 2 support
  • Downloader: Shearwater “Unpair and re-pair” option to improve BLE connection
  • Shearwater Cloud Desktop 2.9 import support
  • UDDF Export improved (new version 3.2.2, more data included)
  • Garmin import .fit files directly from device
  • Brevet Widget optionally load image from DB
  • Windows Store Release

You can now automatically assign dives within the start and end date of a trip. There are two way to use this feature: when saving a trip where you’ve edited the start/end date, you will be asked if you want to assign dives to this trip. You can also trigger this function manually by clicking this button:

Assign dives to a trip

All detail windows (country, city, dive site, etc) have now also a new “Dives” tab, which show all dives linked with the selected detailed item. This was already visible in the tree browser, but now you can also view the dives directly in this window:

New “Dives” tab

If you have a Bluetooth LE (BLE) Shearwater computer and have connectivity problems, try the new “Unpair and re-pair” option which could help to get the connection working:

Unpair and re-pair

You can now also right click any dive flag in the map window to view all dives at this dive site. The UDDF export has been completely overhauled and now supports the latest UDDF version 3.2.2 and exports a lot more data than previously. Diving Log 6.0 is now also available in the Microsoft Store.

Diving Log 6.0.25 released

Sunday, May 29th, 2022

The latest Diving Log update is now available for download and via automatic update function. These are the new features:

  • StatisticCharts: Right click on data value > Show Dives
  • 2 new Widgets (Slideshow + Certifications)
  • Logbook dive time: Option to show in mm:ss
  • Logbook Cursor Line improved
  • Map trip overlay: dives not included are shown with alternate flag image
  • Oceanlog Import: Support for encrypted logbooks
  • Image Viewer: Set current image as main window background

Statistic Charts:

You can now right click any data point in the charts to view the dives which fit to this specific data value. E.g. when you right click the “September” bar in the month chart, you can view all dives which occurred in September:

Right click > Show Dives in September

For line and area charts you have to enable the markers and click exactly the marker point to get the context menu:

Activate markers for line and area charts

New Widgets:

Yeah, after all those years since the introduction of widgets in version 6.0.0, I’ve finally added two new widget types for the main window: Slideshow and Certifications. So you can now add your brevet image (front or back) and your favourite photos to the main window:

New Widgets

Dive Time [mm:ss]:

You can now enable an option to show the dive time in all windows in minutes and seconds. Up to now only free dives (apnea) where shown in seconds, but now you can enable that also for longer scuba dives, if you want:

Option for minutes:seconds dive time

Logbook Cursor Line:

The red cursor line in the logbook window now shows the current values on the left and bottom edge (yellow background color):

Cursor line improvements

Native Share support:

Diving Log supports now the native Share dialog from Windows 10 and 11. You can share images from the Image Viewer, dive profiles and photos from the logbook window and the logbook file from the main file menu:

Diving Log 6.0.24 released

Wednesday, January 26th, 2022

A new update for Diving Log 6.0 is now available for download. I’ve added a bunch of bigger and minor new features as well as some bug fixes:

  • Logbook: Equipment Sets
  • Logbook: User Defined fields dropdown lists
  • Logbook: Show profile context menu with single touch
  • Logbook: Focus dive list after window startup
  • Logbook: Create subtitles for videos
  • Logbook: Slideshow memory leak fixed
  • Map: View dive sites from dive trip
  • Map: Option to show sites without dives with different flag
  • Marine Life: Copy & Paste to other dives
  • Marine Life: EOL import update existing entries
  • Marine Life: Search across all fields
  • Android USB Sync: Device recognition fixed
  • Downloader: Crest CR-4, Genesis Centauri, Tusa TC1

Here I want to show you some of the new features:

Equipment Sets:

I think this was one of the most and longest requested feature and I’m happy that it is finally available. You can now easily group your equipment items in sets and use them to quickly check the equipment items you’ve used for a dive. You can select more than one set without clearing the previous selection.

Equipment Sets

User Defined Fields:

You can now easily select previous entries in the user defined fields from the new dropdown lists:

User defined dropdowns

Copy and paste marine life:

You can now transfer selected marine life with copy and paste from one dive to another, which is a lot faster than manually selecting your sightings for every dive:

Copy and paste marine life

Dive sites from trip:

You can now quickly view and navigate to all dive sites from a specific trip in the map window. They can be overlayed with a polygon in two ways, as border or chronological (best suited for liveaboards). There is now also an option to show dive sites without dives in a different color or transparent:

Dive sites grouped by trip

Chronological order for liveaboards

Video Subtitles:

You can right click video files from dives and automatically create subtitle files, which show depth, time and temperature in video players like VLC. Subitles will be saved as separate file in the same location as the video, so your video files won’t be modified and you can delete subtitles again. In order to get this working, the date and time of the camera has to be in sync with the dive computer date/time. You can manually set the date/time of the video from the same context menu:

Dive data subtitles in video files

Import from EOL into existing items:

If you’ve manually added marine life items, you can now update them with data from EOL.org. Only empty fields will be filled with EOL data and links to dives will be preserved that way:

EOL import

Other changes and fixes:

Tapping profiles on touch screens will now open the context menu to quickly change the profile type. The dive list is now focused when the logbook window opens, so you can start navigating the dives with the cursor keys on your keyboard. The photo slideshow in the logbook will now work properly with lots of images. Previously a memory leak made it stop working after viewing several images. If you’ve had problems with the Android USB sync device recognition, please try it again in this version. And the downloader got some new device support as well.
