Editable lists - 2

[Willem Ferguson]

1) Looks like you have built some sophisticated stuff in there. Have 
seldom come across this sort of facility in other software. There is an 
innumerable number of cylinder volumes and sizes. Just look at the Faber 
catalogue alone. If Subsurface comes out of the box with a minimal list 
of cylinders used by 70% of the recreational (and technical???) diving 
fraternity, no one can ask more. If one uses a a different cylinder one 
just needs to add it to the existing dropdown list. As far as the 
details in the dropdown list is concerned, it would actually be very 
user friendly if the material and capacity of a cylinder is given as 
well. e.g. AL80 Alum 10.9l 210bar. Of course this creates problems of 
units with the primitive world that still uses imperial units (80 cu ft, 
3000psi) but it would really make the dropdown list very informative. 
But this is a personal opinion that may not be shared by others.

2) I am redoing all the images in the V4.02 manual using Gnome. However, 
I am not doing this yet for the dive profile sections, waiting for that 
software to become a bit more finalised.

Kind regards,
Willemf
