Sync issue MacDive > DiveLog > MacDive

[Nick Barter]

I've just started a sync workflow between two macs running MacDive (2.3.2) using DiveLog (1.8.4). The original MacDive entry is all on an iMac. I sync to an iPad (and an iPhone). I then (so far only once) sync to a Macbook Pro. The records on the Macbook Pro are fresh and created solely by the sync from DiveLog on the iPad. The plan is to use the Macbook Pro travelling and sync back the other way when necessary, but it is a new workflow and I have not synced back through it yet because I have noticed a couple of inconsistencies:

1) For all the dives I've done this year neither the Dive Operator nor Boat Captain values have made it to the Macbook Pro from the iPad, however for all older dives the values have made it through the workflow. The values are all present in the master iMac copy.

2) For the dives I have downloaded (from an Atom 3) to my iMac since the 2.3.2 update:

a) The computer serial number has not made it to the Info Summary tab for each dive on the Macbook Pro though it is on the iMac record and the value is present in the Gear record for the computer on the iPad and the MacBook Pro. For all previous dives the value has made it through the sync.

b) in the Summary tab the Personal Mode has the value Unknown in the MacBook Pro. For all previous dives the value is --. The value is -- for all dives on the iMac records.

c) I think the gas model went missing too, but I'm afraid I was sat on a plane editing the MacBook Pro records for the first time before I really thought that the data didn't look the same and by that time I'd filled in all the nitrox mixes again.

These aren't game breakers but I thought I'd let you know.

I am working on a) redoing the iPhone sync to be significantly smarter and b) proper cloud syncing, so, if they're not gamebreakers they will all be resolved in due time.

Apologies for the inconvenience so far. If it's frustrating you, then please email me and we can work on the specific issues.

Look forward to the updates. I can live with what I have for now, and review all changes before I sync.
