Buddies / Main buddy vs other dive friends

Post by WileCoyote »

Hi !

I use to dive with multiple buddies, but there is always one "main buddy".

Could it be possible to have an additional field with "other buddies" (taken/selected from the same buddy list) so I can selct one in the currently existing field and then add other ones ? Or maybe could be easier to list buddies in a certain order (first selected = first in list for instance).

Currently, when I select buddies in the buddies list, they are inserted in alphabetical order (same as display order in the list), not in the selected order.

Thanks for you time and work !

Hi

A separate buddy field is probably not coming, but I think it should be possible to retain the order how you select the buddies in the list. I'll have a look at this.

Kind regards,
Sven

Hello,

I have the same problem for dive with multi buddies.

A solution is that your enter buddies 1 per dive, exemple Mike Blabla and other dive with the second Peter Blabla.



After, you can go to the table icon on the top line. open, then change to edit mode.

search the dive wanted to collapse the 2 buddies. at this time the buddies is written Mike Blabla and the next column is Buddy id.

check the mike blabla number and the Peter Blabla number. exemple 3 and 8.

write in the dive id 3,8 each number separate with koma. save the change and close it.

now when you filling the buddie field, you have your buddies name, and below you have the mike Blabla,Peter Blabla on the same line and you can select it.

For the transition solution , by me is workong well, i have 6 or 7 combinated buddies.

For safety due a copy before due this work, in case you can go back .

No way I do this :? Too much waste of time. For now, I just leave the order as it is, waiting for Sven to make another miracle :wink:

Hi

There is a multi-buddy selection button, but the order of the selected buddies is not used. Instead the order is always alphabetically:

But clicking the 3-lines button allows you to select multiple buddies. I will try to use the selection order in the next update.

oh, yes , i never see this when is open.

I see the picture and i think this was all.

but is clear is more usefull, when we can do the selection direct from the buddy list with the select box.

a nice idea for the update.

Thank you.

Good news, I got it working. If you want, you can download this zip file and copy the content into the Diving Log 6.0 program folder. The order of the checkboxes will be now remembered.
