Probably not ok.
That's odd - I wonder if this is an issue of the backend not being able to cancel. At least in my testing the cancel was delivered and we did cancel successfully with a partial download. But I've only tried this using the simulator (in that case a Suunto VyperAir, in case that matters). I have no experience with the Uwatec Galileo backend and don't know if there's anything different there wrt canceling a download. > I have issues with the layout of the download panel.

I blame my limited Qt skills here.

You are only interacting with the dialog, the app behind it is on halt. So moving things to a second level of UI just to make it smaller or have it look less "empty" is not useful. > I hope some of this is useful. Yes of course - I just dislike the last idea. But any testing, any report back is useful. I honestly had hoped that more people would try it. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
