Shearwater desktop import labeled as pursuit

Post by Petrus »

Hi Sven,

An other little non essential thing:

As one downloads from Shearwater desktop the computer field gets set to Shearwater pursuit.
Is there a way to force to say prederator? or do I need to talk to the shearwater team if this is copied from the desktop software ?

Again thanks for the hard work....
Even my reverse tick box is now on the right spot :)

Hi Pieter

I've looked at the Shearwater desktop database format. There is a field "computerModel" in the table "dive_logs", but it is always empty. So it seems I can't import the computer name automatically. Maybe I'll add an option in the import dialog which allows you to specify which model is used. Right now it is hard coded to "pursuit" in Diving Log.

If you have good connections to the Shearwater team you can ask them about this field. You can also ask them about the "currentCircuitSetting" field, which seems to behave a bit weird and does not always seem to contain the correct value.

Thank you,
Sven

They are in the middle of a revision cycle.
Here is a quote
"the computer model field will be used for the sub product type such as: PROCTE, PROT, etc... There is a new field named product that will be the specific product id: Pursuit, Predator, etc... The log format got changed at one point and the desktop software was not updated and that is why current circuit setting is almost always wrong.
T
All that will be fixed in the next release"
Followed by..

" Actually v2.2.4 of Shearwater Desktop has the new fields already in the database.

Also v2.2.4 fixes the current circuit setting bug."

They are beta testing new firmware for the computer, as soon as that becomes public
The fields should all be there.

So maybe have a look at the db of that version. Or I can send you mine.

Hi Pieter

Thank you for the information! When you have a version 2.2.4 database in the future (and some dives imported with that version), please the file.
