Signature suggestion

Post by 5teve »

Hi

Just a quick suggestion, for those that may be converting a paper log book to an electronic log book, would it be difficult to allow a picture to be used in the signature field?

I was thinking keep the operation as it is now, however if you right click you have the option of inserting a picture from file. This could be the stamp, or a scanned signature.

I'm sure its not as straightforward as it sounds.. but may make this a bit more flexible while keeping a similar output (picture) for reporting and export etc.

Thanks

Hi Steve

Thanks for the suggestion. The current signature is stored as a text string (of coordinates). To store a graphic another database field is required. But this is planned already for a future version.

Kind regards,
Sven

Thanks Sven

Good to know its in the roadmap. I'm going to experiment using the sync feature of Diving log 5 to go from Divemate USB to Diving log as signatures could be grabbed while on vacation on the tablet (easier than mouse) and then transfered back to Diving log 5

I'm just trying to find out how Divemate syncs pictures and signatures..

Thanks again

Steve
