I understand.
Looking at one of my oxygen gas change event I found:

*<event time="119:26 min" name="gaschange" value="100" type="25"/>*

So I guess it refers to the gas via the oxygen fraction. Humm...

In an advanced tech/cave dives I easily have one of these scenario:

Gas switches between several identical stage bottles with the same mix.
Gas switch from a bottom stage and back gas.
Gas switch from my back gas to a stage bottle during descent in a PSCR dive
(even in an arbitrary point in a cave dive).

2nd & 3rd scenarios switch between different bottle type. 1st scenario
switches between same bottle type so cylinder type is not enough.
Is it really so difficult having something like bottle id in the cylinder
record and then referring later to it by id without breaking other code?

Enhancement ticket for 5.0 :)

By the moment the only workaround I found is having a slightly different
mix in every stage bottle.
