Importing Dives from Suunto Dive Manager 3.1.0

Hi,

I have just brought MacDive 2.0.4 and am loving it.

I just one one problem when I download my dives from my Suunto Viper I'm only getting 56 out off 279. I know the memory on the Suunto's is low and new dive over rights the old ones. I have all my dive already on the Suunto software (Dive Manager 3.1.0) Is there a way I can transfer them to MacDive 2.0.4?

I have tried exporting them as .SDE, .CSV, .ZXL and .ZXU but when I drag and drop on MacDive is doesn't see them. I have also tried the Backup Database but again MacDive doesn't see it.

Please help as I would like to have all my dives in one place.

Thanks

All sorted, I think I was exporting the file wrong tried it again and it worked fine.

Sorry :oops:


I do have some comment:-

In the Gear/Tank it would be good to have a pull down menu with, Single, Twins, Pony, Stage Cylinders. If you have twins it would also be good to have two serial number columns so I can put both cylinders in. you could also have a pull down with alloy or steel cylinder as I have twin 7s, 10s and 12s steel with alloy and steel stages.

Also could you use the computers clock so you could have reminders when your cylinders/reg are up for service? Nitrox Service (required every year), Visual Check (every two and half years) and Hydrostatic Test (every five years)

And one last thing I cant seem to put anything in the working pressure.

Thanks
Joe

Working Pressure can only be changed if you are using imperial units. It is disabled if you are using metric.
