Currently, no UI relating things done, but already did some cleanup related to the very confusing credential state processing. I feel that this needs to be done first before touching the UI in this area.

No argument there.

We had a few people express dismay over that. It shouldn't be HARD to fix, I think. We just need to rethink how we populate the drop downs.

It does not auto scroll while typing (so typing in the blind), it sometimes just stops editing (having to redo it), but a workaround for me worked. Add just a short note, save the dive and edit the notes in a second pass. I believe the UI/QML needs some work here.

Yes - we should just get rid of the overlay and turn this into a regular page.

> 4) I like the "autocomplete" for buddies. But something similar for divesites would be nice.

Given the complexity and insanity of our dive site handling - that might be harder than it sounds.

The credential stuff should get fixed before we release 2.0.

The BT enabling would be need for 2.1

The dive sites... I'm guessing version 6.4 ?
