Thanks, I'll try to squeeze in a test of that tomorrow.

I just ran a quick test on xenial, and at least cloud storage,
download from divelogs.de, export to UDDF and import of the same file
works. Importing some random UDDF sample seems to freeze the UI until
much later when the file was parsed. So this again reminds me that we
would need some sort of progress bar, or other indication that import
is in action (knowing how big the import is might be quite
impossible). Import of Latin1 encoded files with umlauts fail, but
then again we do instruct people to use UTF-8 (IIRC). So no real
problems in my testing.

Unfortunately my first opportunity for more thorough testing is
scheduled for the end of January...Now I was only able to test
importing some collected sample logs from various software.
