**[dive]** Re: Add main menu recent files

[Patrick Majewski]

Hi,

at first i thought, why did he stick on 4 entries. Putting the addition 
of the actions/menu entries in the mainwindow.cpp instead of hard wiring 
it in the .ui file this could be more flexible.
But reading this:

it makes sense to me again.

Where should they appear else? This is the default behavior in the 
Applications. Aside it is a file operation so it should appear in the 
file menu.
Perhaps it should be able to enable this feature via preferences and 
disable this by default to prevent confusion for user with only one 
divelog.

As you speak about the coding policy I'd like to mention, that marking 
class variables (declared in header)  with e.g. m_ or something else 
increases the readability.
Especially for someone new in this project it is quite confusing to get 
an overview on the source.
