The question is "do we need to change the UI to make this more obvious"? The goal is for this to be easy for the user. Sure, it's documented in the manual (well, actually, right now it isn't, but I'm sure it will be, soon), But we all know that most users only check the user manual in cases of dire emergency, after complaining on Facebook how much the software sucks and sending emails to random email addresses with questions lacking any context...

But it's free! Never mind, I don't have it either. I barely have a Windows machine, TBH. Can you send me a patch? I can do a daily build with it and point the people who reported the issue to try that. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
