G'day Sven,
I hope you don't mind me providing you with my thoughts about Diving log? Please don't get me wrong, I think it's a great program.
One thing I like to do is record the visability for a dive in metres. Being able to specify the visibility this way, maybe even both vertically and horizontally would be great.
I also find it strange that the various "Conditions" type feature you already have are split between the Logbook and Additional views.
I'd like to see a "Conditions" view with Visibility, Weather, Altitude, Air temp, Water temp (Surface and Bottom), Waves, Current, Entry, Dive Type etc. all on this one view.
Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Hi Lloyd
A lot of suggestions and I think it will take some time to implement all, but I'll do my best.
I think it's not easy to say how much meters visibilty you have, but it's no problem to add fields for this. But you must know that in such a program you can't have standard fields for all cases, especially if the majority don't need such fields. For this I have added user defined fields and the comments box where you can write a lot of things. Also database changes during a main version are a little bit complicated, because all Diving Log logbooks must be changed on the next opening.
The reason why the conditions are split is, that Diving Log has a long release history and it's growing from version to version. So the main tab fields are very old, new ones are added and so on. I can redesign this only on the next major upgrade (version 5).
