Odd. Definitely something that should be filed as a bug.

Again, find a minimal set of steps that recreates this and file a bug.

That's strange - I've never had the problem of a gas NOT showing up.
Usually too many gases show up. Are the gas switches there? Did you ever
switch to O2? Or is this as simple as the "unused cylinder" flag in
preferences?

Can you create a libdivecomputer dump so that we can see what's happening?
Once we can reproduce this, I'd also like a bug filed

This should work today. If you start with about the right start time (and
don't get me started about Qt's terrible time entry widget) it should
simply merge things. Maybe I'm missing, what you are suggesting.

We do part of that in our statistics tab. It should be really easy to add
gas consumption.

Could you file an enhancement request?


I know, I am sounding like a broken record (for those of us old enough to
remember records - for the kids... back in the old days this figure of
speach made perfect sense) - it really helps to get all these things into
trac. I constantly find myself going back through old emails because I
vaguely remember some conversation somewhere about something not working
or about an idea how it should work.

Please. please. please file any and all of these as INDIVIDUAL bugs /
enhanement requests. It takes just a minute or two and makes it so much
easier to track them and to make sure they get dealt with (or consciously
postponed) prior to the release

Thanks
