Yes, 32% certainly works fof me. It's no bigger than the heading anyway, if the heading is "Gas". The "28...35%" format is also much preferable to "EAN28...35", because the extra character is at the end, not the beginning. So if you have narrow columns, you miss the percentage sign, not the actual real information (which is also why the "cuft/min" postfix isn't quite has horrible as the EAN prefix). Side note: our worst offender is actually the date field. We print date/time in a very verbose way, including seconds etc. I doubt people even care about the seconds field, and many dive computers don't give divetime at that resolution anyway. Same goes for dive duration. If somebody cares about *that* kind of detail of the dive, they almost certainly can just select the dive and look at the dive statistics or something. And there the extra verbosity makes things harder to parse, I suspect. Just the detail of the information makes it harder to just read it at a glance. I'd also love to see "dives on the same day" somehow visually more clearly in the dive list. I mentioned this to Thomaz in private, that I find it hard to get a nice overview of the dive trip because the date field is so dense and "noisy". That's something the dive list could/should help with, I feel - make it more helpful to show an *overview* of the dives you have) Linus _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@hohndel.org http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
