That reminds me.
We should never have a default filename AT ALL when we load multiple
files. It's too damn easy to screw up.
Just do
subsurface DirkDives.xml linus.xml
to look at our combined dives. The, press ^S "by mistake".
F^&%. It just saved the combined dives to "linus.xml". That's not right.
I'd argue that if you actually want to combine XML files, and you
start out with multiple, you'd better use the "Save As .."
functionality to save the result. Don't let it just overwrite the last
one by mistake.
And yes, this has happened to me. Happily I have my dive XML file
under revision control, but imagine the chaos if you are a normal
person and don't do that..
