Sorry, of course you are right, I misunderstood what that checkbox does.

You can simulate that feature already: When you open the planner it copies the the gases of the currently selected dive. So If you already have a dive with standard gases just select that one. Or make up such a dive as a dummy. It’s just that you have to know which set you want to use when you start planning, you cannot go to a different set later (but of course you can edit the gas list).

If you still wanted to implement that feature, maybe it would be simpler to have a “Save current gases as a set for later access” button rather than implementing yet another table where you can edit a gas list. Another question (which the approach of copying the gases from a selected dive circumvents) would be where to store those gas lists: In the preferences (in which case you would have to serialise the gas list table) or in the xml/git?
