Shearwater upload problems

Willem,

Since you are building from source, can you see if Jef's analysis is correct and it is the simplification that I had implemented in libdivecomputer that causes the problem?

cd ~/src/subsurface/libdivecomputer
git revert 8ea8ceb
cd build
make && make install
cd ../../build
make

and then try that freshly built Subsurface to see if that fixes the problem?

Thanks

/D

There, the "petrel" parameter was removed and replaced with the model number. But the purpose of that parameter is to indicate whether the data came from the petrel or the predator backend. And because the model number appears to be stored incorrect in Willem's data (zero instead of 2), the data gets indeed parsed using the petrel format.
