<p>Two issues:</p>
<p>1) With respect to the proposed star widgets (for current,
surface waves, surge and chill) that I had for the Information
tab, there was discussion on what to do with those (see image
below). Currently only the star widget for visibility is shown.
During the previous discussions on this mail list there was broad
support for these. However a few developers thought this was not
necessary. Dirk though that perhaps the star widget for current
should be kept. <br>

<p>My proposal is to keep the star widgets for current and for
visibility, and to make the other three user selectable through
the preferences settings with the default state being those three
not being shown.</p>
<p>2) The water type/Density widget. Currently it is not editable
because of serious misgivings about the utility of this being
editable. If one considers a dive log as a type of dive diary then
there is a need to accurately reflect the dive. And I reckon that
almost all divers that dive both fresh and sea water at some stage
forget to set their dive computers to the correct water type. In
addition, for manually-entered dives there is no possibility to
define the water density at all. It is possible to hand-edit the
water density in the xml dive log and this is what I have done on
those few occasions. In the interest of having a true reflection
of a dive in the dive log I honestly think that there is a need to
be able to edit the water density value. Therefore I propose that,
at least under some circumstances, the water type/Density value is
made editable. The possibility is that here as well, one could
make this user selectable with the default state being that the
editability is turned off.</p>
<p>Comments, please?</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
