Dirk, One thing I have been contemplating now that dive sites can be managed independent of dives is that it should be possible to create a dive site on the mobile app (either from the current location or from a saved GPS fix) that can later be used when a dive is imported from a dive computer on a desktop machine. This will mean adding the dive site management and addition code to the mobile app.
Just something to think about as we look at what features should move from the desktop into the mobile app. -Doug > On Apr 13, 2019, at 9:27 AM, Dirk Hohndel <[email protected]> wrote: > > > While I still haven't announced 4.8.6 (I'm on the plane back home - I think > I'll announce it later today), I wanted to start the conversation about 4.9. > > We just merged a massive PR from Berthold that brings something that Henrik > and others have asked for for a very long time.
