BADLY DOCUMENTED? It pops up a frigging alert box that says "Saving the libdivecomputer dump will NOT download dives to the dive list". What else should it do?

The interface does EXACTLY what I want it to do and EXACTLY where I want it to do it. You can store a log file and nothing bad happens. You can get the dump AND IT TELLS YOU THAT YOU WON'T GET DIVES This is straight forward, easy, not confusing. Having a hidden option somewhere else - now that's confusing. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
