The libdivecomputer based downloader and the subsurface DLF importer have different "heritage", the later started as me reverse engineering the format. That's also sort of the background why it stopped at a data importer and never grew up to be a propper "download from dive computer" backend. Nowadays it might be a idea to drop the subsurface DLF parser, and extend libdc_buffer_parser to feed the DLF into libdivecomputer instead and let it parse them. One could write a "download from dive computer" back end either using the libdivecomputer parsing akind to the Uemis Zurich downloader, which also takes a mount point as io-endpoint instead of serial or bluetooth. This would most likely improve the experience the most for Divesoft divers importing logs into subsurface. Or, after a bit of digging, write a Divesoft downloader which uses the DC_TRANSPORT_USBSTORAGE thingie to iterate over DLF files, like the Garmin ones. Or maybee it's time for upstream libdivecomputer to get a variant of DC_TRANSPORT_USBSTORAGE and use that? //Anton ___ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface

I saw that Divesoft Freedom and Liberty where integrated into libdivecomputer, and that a next release of Subsurface could include direct download from the dive computer, instead of manually import .DLF files. For now (test version from November 21th), Divesoft computers are well in this list of supporter computers but no import is available, perhaps because no mount point is available: the mount point showed is the one from my other computer (Garmin), and no change or manual selection is possible (see attachment). My Divesoft computer mount point on Mac is /Volumes/FREEDOM, and /run/media/username/FREEDOM under Linux If there is something to test about that, don’t hesitate to tell me. The libdivecomputer integration is for downloading dives over bluetooth (BLE). That's why the mount point control is disabled, because it's not used for bluetooth communication. This feature is only available in the newer versions of the Freedom and Liberty. For the older models, which are using USB mass storage, you can import the DLF files as before. The download over bluetooth will simply download the same content as the DLF files, so there is no difference in the data that gets downloaded.
