It is. But only if you have dives with locations. We have some dives
like that in our test dives. Run

IIRC that only makes a difference when manually adding a dive.
We should simply remove the option and ALWAYS do that. Could you file a
bug on that (I'm just about to leave the house)

It's under the "Show" header, isn't it?
So this is asking if the user wants to be shown unused cylinders :-)
