I only see a small problem: The buttons (cancel, save) are there for edits of 
information of a single dive (what you do in the tabs) while actions from the 
dive list context menu (renumbering, adding pictures, shifting times, assigning 
to trips) potentially operate on the list of all selected dives.

Plus the meaning of “Save” on the button does _not_ mean “save to disk” but it 
means “commit to dive list” while the context menu entries quasi per definition 
act on the dive list.

So, I maintain, we are consistent: Button action transfers info from tab to 
dive list. To save the dive list to disk use the Ctrl-S and equivalents. 

To get rid of any confusion we might rename the button to “Commit changes to 
dive list”. Then nobody thinks anything is written to disk.

What do you think?

Best
Robert
