Info and suggestions

[Davide DB]

I create some tickets for the only bug I was able to replicate and
several enanchement requestes.

Wrong date format on logbook table: http://trac.hohndel.org/ticket/555

Gas switch events of different colour: http://trac.hohndel.org/ticket/556

Lower graph with gas type used: http://trac.hohndel.org/ticket/557

Profile zoom & pan unnatural: http://trac.hohndel.org/ticket/558

Undergarment field related to dry-suit: http://trac.hohndel.org/ticket/559

Bye

> Hereafter some questions and feedback:
>
> - On user manual:
>
> Suit: The type of diving suit used for the dive can be entered here.
> As with the other items, auto completion of the suit description is available.
>
> On my computer it's a text field and I don't get auto completion. Is it normal?
>
> - I see that a strong emphasys is given on weight given that is the
> only field along tanks on the equipment tab. Actually I find it pretty
> useless if not directly related with the suit used. For dry-suit dives
> the undergarment used is fundamental for weight records.
> When I dive with a Santi BZ400 I add two kg than my usual polartech fleece.
> I see that I could fill the suit field with something like "neoprene
> 5mm" or "TLS350 - Thinsulate 400g" but I think that having a separate
> "undergarment" field would be useful to keep track later of different
> undergarments used on different location/period/dive suits.
> I dive 99% dry-suit on tech dives so undergarment record is paramount.
>
> - I started using the program without checking/saving preferences. At
> the beginning I was having 02 graphs completely red while the 02 graph
> button was grayed out but working. I put a gas switch on oxygen and PP
> was not calculated for it.
> After opening the preferences dialog and saving values without
> changing anything I got everything working.
>
> - While zooming in/out the profile, I got a default zoom (while
> maximizing the window) very very small. I mean that I was able to zoom
> out far more than the default. Resizing the window everything came
> back normal. I was not able to reproduce it.
>
> - Is it normal that on a Italian system I get the lower logbook table
> showing dives date as "Day, Month, day of the month"? I changed
> language: System > Italian > English with no luck. It seems a locale
> setting. I really would prefer day/month/year or eventually date
> format follows the language choice.
>
> - It would be nice having gas-switch events with a different icon/colour.
>
> - It' would be nice having a simple lower graph with different gas
> used per profile range. Diving Log ha something similar and it gives
> you a rapid info on gas used at a glance.
>
> - Last but not the least: the profile zoom & pan function is really
> uncomfortable and weird. I use several cad program so I can understand
> it's choice but for a normal user is really unnatural. Just imagine if
> Google maps worked in this way...
> I use a lot this function because I have very long run-times > 2h. The
> biggest flaw is that you cannot center a point and moving there your
> mouse pointer. A classic google maps approach would be far better from
> user's experience POV.

> Thanks and keep going!!!
