Hi,

F.Y.I this bug still isn't fixed in the 4.04 update.

The 4.0.4 version was released before this posting, but you can download here a minor update: Download

Extract the zipfile into the Diving Log program folder.

Kind regards,
Sven

G'day Sven,

Are there any other changes in this minor update that might make it worthwhile for the rest of us to switch to it?

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Hi Lloyd

I just updated the file before a minute, so now it contains some more fixes, including the MySQL Dump export bug.

G'day Sven,

Which MySQL Dump bug?

I know of at least three.

1. The incorrect export of the Entry Time.

2. The problem with the DBInfo table

3. The problem with latitude and longitude values

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

2nd is fixed
3rd depends on the MySQL import. When I open the file with the browse button the degree symbol (°) will be imported as (?). When I open the dump file and copy/paste the text into the SQL interpreter the lat / lon values are correct. This is because Visual Basic isn't able to save the text file in UTF8 format, I try to find a workaround for this. The semikolon (') is now also exported correct.

G'day Sven,

My suggestion for handling the lat and long, would be to export them in the form of xxx.xxxxxxxx degrees.

Then the problem of having to handle the:
° (& # 176)- degree;
′ (& # 8242)- prime = minutes = feet; and
″ (& # 8243)- double prime = seconds = inches
symbols simply goes away.

If we want to display the values in degrees, minutes, seconds format, then we can do the required conversion when we display them from the database.

I guess your problem is that you then need Diving Log to be able to import the values in that format as well.

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Yes, I think this would be the best solution. I'll use the same format as in the Google Earth export.

Great Sven,

Just let me know when you have a minor update available that fixes either of problems 1 and 3. Then I'll make the matching changes to phpDivingLog.

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Hi Lloyd

All 3 bugs are now fixed, you can download the new program file from the same link above.

The coordinates are exported as in Google Earth, I think its the same format as you need them for the Google Maps link. The entry time field is now a time field.

Kind regards,
Sven

Hi,

The 'Manage' bug is fixed. But the dialog that appears is only patrially translated in English (Caption and top two buttons are still in German).

G'day Sven,

Thanks. I should have an update to phpDivingLog out soon. I'm just cleaning up some code.

By the way, in this minor update, there is a section on the Help menu that comes up in German, plus all of the values that come up when you select it are in German.

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.
