Request for Add New behaviour

Post by wvd_vegt »

Hi,

When i press add-new in various dialogs I get a copy of whatever is present in the dialog at that time.

The problem is that if I press it when I did not change anything I get a 'duplicate' entry, after which it's impossible to tel which is the original and which is the new record. Personally I would prefer Add New to add a blank record and the selection on the left side of the dialog should be at the newly inserted record.

Other problem is when you want to press delete (for correcting a error click on Add New). I would like to be able to see in the dialog or get a warning if entries are used & unused so I can determine if a deletion is safe (and thus the item is indeed unused).

Finally as I posted earlier, in the buddy dialog the buddies of a previous dive remain selected, which is not always a good option escpecially when the list is long and you have to search for checked checkboxes.

Yes, the add new behaviour is confusing and I'll change this in the next update, so that there will be a new item called "Unamed" with empty fields.

Regarding the Buddy selection: I unfortunately can't reproduce this. In edit mode I edit one dive, click on the info icon, select one or more buddies, click on OK, save the dive. Then I select the next dive, click on the info icon and no entry is selected. Or do you mean something different?

Kind regards,
Sven

Hi,

I frequently have that divers from previous dives are still selected when I add a new dive. I think we're talking about the same thing.

OK, I found it. It's only when adding new dives, and not when editing existing dives, what I tested. I will fix this bug, thank you!
