Hi,
I just purchased a new macbook pro 13" and need to import all my dives from the macedive on my old macbook pro. I tried export and import with udcf file and it worked, kind of. A significant amount of my data did not transfer. What export path captures all data in my old macdive for import to my new macdive? Thanks BTW I tried keyword searches to find the answer, but never got what I needed.
Thanks

Just copy the MacDive database itself and put it on your new computer. No need to export anything.

/Users/your username/Library/Application Support/MacDive/MacDive.sqlite

The only thing to watch out for is that if you have any images (either photos or for gear, sites etc) then they won't show up if you have changed usernames on the new computer.

This is something I need to fix, but if you have the same username (or no photos) then everything will be fine. Worst case you could just add them again, if you don't have too many.
