Water type is obtained directly from the dive computer and
translated <br>
to g/liter. I would really like this heading to be "Water
density" and <br>
not "Water type".<br>

<p>Hmm, the datum currently reported is the water density, that is
a floating point number. I suspect one could mess with the code so
that a user can enter a string, and then translate that string to
a density number. This one needs some careful thinking because one
would be mixing two concepts, water type and water density but in
terms of userfriendlyness it is possible to do such a translation.
I would like to hear Dirk and Robert Helling's opinions on this.<br>

I've attached a change to the main notes page:<br>
</blockquote>
<div>* move the line containing duration and depth up to the
same line as dive start time.</div>
<div>* move duration closer to the time, so now I read the
start of the dive & the duration</div>
<div>* tags goes to the line below, allowing a longer entry
field</div>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>The screen mockup I made was using the notes panel for *manual*
dive entry, in other words, a dive computer was not involved. When
a dive computer is used, the line with depth and duration does not
exist because, of course, this is all obtained during the download
process. On your own Subsurface, look at your usual notes panel
layout. Of course, when depth and duration does not feature (as in
dc downloads) then your suggestion is not really applicable. Your
valid question is whether a special adaptation should be made for
the *manual* dive entry panel. I am undecided about that because
there would be inconsistency between the dc-download and
manual-entry versions of that panel.<br>
</p>
<p>The mockup achieves a smaller info panel (less vertical space)
that leaves more vertical space for the notes. Dirk had a clear
preference to achieve this.<br>
</p>
<p>I hope this makes sense?</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
