Android Updates

Thursday, August 29th, 2024

There is a new Android update available in the Google Play store and looks like I forgot to write blog posts about the last two Android updates as well, so here are the changes of the updates since the last blog post from March:

Version 6.7 (August):

  • Downloader: Template Dive
  • Downloader: Sync Time
  • Downloader: Import Position
  • Downloader: Mares Quad Ci working now
  • Add Dive: Choose Template Dive
  • OneDrive Sync Fix: The Content-Range header is missing or malformed
  • OneDrive Sync: Upload large file support

Using a template dive in the Android downloader was one of the most requested features recently. And it works so nice that I will port this feature also to the Windows version. You can select any dive from the logbook and it will be copied and updated with the data from the dive computer, which saves a lot of time filling the remaining data:

When adding dives manually, you can also choose the template dive now and you can access the import and download functions from this menu. In the downloader options, you can now choose to sync the dive computer clock with the device clock. You can also choose if you want to import the GPS position of the dive site. Not all dive computers support these functions, of course:

The OneDrive sync was also improved with large file upload support (> 60 MB) and I finally was able to fix the “Content range header” bug, which some users experienced.

Version 6.6 (July):

  • Downloader: Shearwater Peregrine TX und Tern TX support
  • Garmin: New fit library version
  • Garmin: Import improvements
  • Share File Target
  • Exchange File bug fixes
  • OneDrive Refresh Token expiration fix

Most of these changes are self-explanatory. The “Share File Target” means, the Diving Log app will now show up as a file share target in other apps. For example, when you export from the Garmin app to a .fit file, you can select the Diving Log app and the .fit file will automatically show up for import. This makes data exchange a lot easier.

Version 6.5 (May):

  • Downloader: Cressi Bluetooth Support
  • Downloader: Mares Sirius, Puck Air 2, Puck 4 & Quad Ci Support
  • Downloader: Apeks DSX fixes
  • Add images and YouTube videos from URL
  • Import Divesoft new file format support

The Mares Quad Ci was actually not yet working in version 6.5 because of a bug, but this was fixed in version 6.7 (see above). When adding images, you can now add them as link (URL), which can point to an image file or YouTube video:

Logbook Templates

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

The next update will contain an improved template function. Templates are a great way to quickly update several dives at once where certain data remains identical. For example, during a vacation you only have to enter all data for the first dive. Then create a template from this dive by selecting all the fields that won’t change during the vacation, e.g. country, city/island, tank size and type, dive suit, etc. For the other dives you can simply apply the template and all the data gets filled in automatically.

Up to now you couldn’t modify a template once you’ve saved it, which was a bit painful when you forgot to check some fields. In the next version you can update or overwrite any existing template and add or remove fields, which makes it a lot easier. If you haven’t used it yet, I recommend you try it the next time you want to update several dives at once. You can also watch a short video, even though it’s from version 4.0.

Template Manager and Equipment Revision

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

In the latest update I’ve finally included the Template Manager. It enables you to quickly update several dives at once, even though this is now also possible using the new table editor. If you are not familiar with the template function, I recommend you watch this video tutorial from the support website. To access the template manager, you can click in the “Logbook” menu the “Template Manager” item, or in the logbook window, the small dialog launcher button in the Ribbon.

In this update I’ve fixed also a bug which could crash the application on Windows XP, when interacting with the dive profile. The equipment service reminder is now also included. To activate it, check the box in the equipment dialog. As soon as the revision date for one or more items is within the time span you have set, the Welcome Center will pop up during startup and the equipment items were displayed. When you click an item it will be shown in the equipment dialog.
