I do like the idea, but I am hesitant about syncing the time with laptop automatically. That is because it usually takes a few days for me to update my timezone. Even with the manual time sync, it has happened to me once that I synced wrong time to my DC. Also with my tablet, there is no automatic timezone changes so the mobile version might also be missing the correct time. > But I suspect people will hate that patch because it does that time > sync thing *unconditionally*.

I am thinking about a nagging popup in case we have not been diving in more than a day to remind to set the timezone correctly on computer before syncing the time (if enabled). Or something less annoying for the incompetent people who cannot keep their timezones :D Maybe just a checkbox on the download dialog to enable this feature per DC connection - maybe even remember the setting until no-fly clears. miika _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
