First of all, the dive list is the only place where we use other gas names than any where else. We even have two different names for air depending on if it is the only gas or if the dive have multiple gases. Secondly we should be more consistent in how we display things, either we show deco gases if they exist or we don’t, regardless if the bottom mix contains helium or not. After changing that it becomes rather obvious that we only should show one gas or we will start showing stuff like 18/45..oxygen. The only time it might be a issue which gas we should show is if the dive have multiple nitro mixes that are fairly close in oxygen content. But on the other hand does it matter if we show EAN31 or EAN33 in the dive list? /Jocke _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
