wow - I've not gotten this feedback from anyone else.

I should say I have 0 experience with QML and (worse) I currently cannot build for my phones, I can only run the mobile application on the desktop where my mouse for obvious reasons has no pinch action. So, all I can say is that it compiles and does not (as opposed to my earlier attempts) throw error messages on running.

Haven't looked at the patch - desperately trying to make it through all
email before breakfast / morning boat...

yes, that I have heard, but I think our swiping between dives is much more
important. I think a dive app where you can't easily switch to the
previous / next dive and have to go back to the dive list is almost
useless.
