In the current version this is limited to images of your certification cards (More->Personal->Certifications) and images of Buddies that are linked contacts on your iPhone (via the normal Contacts mechanism for capturing and using mages for a Buddy).
I am planning to add more support for images in Dive Log on iPhone (in fact, I happen to be working on that right now). The additional images will be associated with a Dive Site (for example a picture of the map that the dive master draws during his/her briefing), a Country (for example an image of the Country's flag), your Personal entry (an image of yourself), Buddy (extended to unlinked Buddies and synced to the desktop) and your equipment items.
Hi, Greg, a comment of yours here about "unlinked buddies" caught my interest.
Like many users of your software, I use a PC for Sven's Diving Log app as well as a separate Mac, which my iPhone is synced to. As a result, there is no connection between contacts on my iPhone and contacts that Diving Log can reference on my system.
When I add a dive manually into Dive Log, at the dive site, I can choose dive buddies right from Contacts. However, that connection is broken, because I overwrite the iPhone's log with the more-complete desktop log, after I download my computer into the desktop app. (I hand-transcribe my iPhone-based notes into the desktop app first)
Is there any way around this?
Unfortunately, I don't think the two-way sync will work for me, because I actually download my dive computer into SmartTrak first, and then export into Diving Log solely for the purpose of printing logs (Diving Log's print support is vastly superior to SmartTrak's) and getting the data onto the iPhone. (As a side note, the quick entry pick lists for dive sites are wiped after this as well, forcing me to add sites I dive weekly as "new" every time.)
I'm probably SOL because of the somewhat unique workflow I use, but I thought it might be worth asking...
