Davide worked really hard to get me to use a better color scheme. I'll post another APK in a minute with a fixed version of the blue color scheme - but that will only change the color of a selected dive (that was the one things that was wrong). > The recent improvements are totally great.

I don't want to add features based on the oddities of how people name sites. I have long given up on trying to make this meet expectations. We have people who want a taxonomy (dive location country, state, county, city, ward, whatever). We have people who use the trip for the geographic location and the location for the site name. We have people who repeat every piece of information in the name of every location. I'm sure there are four other variations. There is no way we will be able to make everyone happy. So I'll follow the Apple philosophy: Obviously, the way we present things is magical, so if that doesn't work for you that means that you need to be doing it wrong :-) > I noted some discussion in the past (I think it was on this thread) > about adding in the "dive type" (OC, CCR, FREE) to the dive list.

Again, something that a few people like, many others don't care about (especially those of us for whom every single dive would get the same marker). And adding configuration options makes things harder to use, harder to document, and harder to test. So unless there is strong support from a LOT of users, I don't think I'll add that. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
