subsurface feature requests

I enjoy using subsurface. I have five questions:

1) When entering dives by hand, and one makes a typingg error with the 
depth or the dive duration (same window as date and time, e.g. typo  of 
146m instead of 14.6m), there is not a way that I can see to correct the 
information. There is an option to edit the date/time, but not the 
information below that. The only way I found was to delete the dive 
entirely and to enter the information for that dive from afresh. It 
would be helpfull if dive depth and dive duration could be included in 
the option to edit date/time.

2) In the equipment section of the program, it would be very helpful if 
information for the dive computer(s) could be entered, e.g. date and 
place purchased, serial number, guarantee number. Mares Dive Organiser 
(which I used until I started subsurface) keeps that information which 
is helpfull in the event of servicing or repair to the dive computer. 
Even a single string would be helpful.

3) The dive list would be more informative if there could be a column 
indicating whether it was a dive in dive table mode or with a dive computer.

I have two questions:
4) If a diver uses more than one dive computer, will subsurface 
automatically keep log of the dives on all the different dive computers 
of a single diver? If so, I assume it will be a single, combined log?

5) Can subsurface be used for more than one diver on a single laptop?

Kind regards,
Willem Ferguson
