Hi Nick,

in Macdive, i have a lot of pieces of gear. I also have several groups with pieces of gear in it. Some gear (my standard gear) is added automatically to new dives
When adding gear to a dive i have two suggestions that would make this more easy.

1. In the gear tab of the dive inspector, you see all your gear in the top right side (available gear). It would make it easier when every piece of gear that is already added to that dive, would disappear from that list. So when you add it to the dive, you move it from right to left, and the list of available gear becomes smaller and smaller as you add more pieces to the dive.

2. In the bottom right you see the available groups. It would be easy when, if you select a particular group (on the bottom right) only the items in that group would be visible in the available gear list (top right). So by selecting a group, you only see the piece of gear in that group.
And then maybe inside that group again, when you add it to the dive, it moves from right to left and is no longer shown in the available gear section.

Could you consider this for a future update?

Thanks!

They all sound like really useful ideas. Thanks for the suggestions - I'll see what I can do about getting this updated.

This is done for the next release. If you select multiple dives, only the bits of gear that are already on ALL dives are removed, so you can still drag a piece of gear to add it to everything. It updates as you add/remove gear also.

That's really great! Thanks Nick, really appreciate it.

No worries, sorry for the delay - I realised how old this was and how long I had been meaning to do it for!

Played around with this in the new release, and i like it! Thanks!
