Time Format

Post by thecurl »

Okay, this will sound silly, but I'm having trouble puzzling out the dive time format. The Blank gives 00:00 and my original assumption was HH:MM. But my Zoop imported all of its data as MM:SS, so the SAC rates between my manually entered [pre computer] dives and my ZOOP entered dives varies dramatically, but being a neophyte means I'm not sure which SAC rate is more correct.
In a future update could some clarification for the time boxes be added? In the short term, was the correct format so that I can manually update the dives?

Thanks in advance,

~Mike

MM:SS is the correct format.

This is a bit confusing (it's been mentioned before), as the surface interval is displaying as HH:MM, since the seconds aren't of much importance there.

Probably the best solution would be to make them both HH:MM:SS, and just have the text fields be slightly longer. The reason they're different was originally just to keep the number of characters smaller, for a smaller column. At least, that's the reason as far as I recall it - maybe I'd had a few too many beers at the time..

I wouldn't mind at all if it was HH:MM:SS as that was one of the first things I attempted just to get all of the times standardized. It didn't like that many " : ". It would also stop me from having 109 minute surface intervals, just for prettiness sake.
