make this happen sooner rather than later...
So here's what I can remember of the top of my head...
Location management
===================
The location management work turned into an utter disaster of many
attempts that no one liked but I think we are getting closer there. What's
missing before this is ready for actual users?
Davide, are you back? Henrik, any chance you can help provide a todo list
of what's needed before we can use this in a release? What I'm looking for
is a TODO list...
TODO:
I currently manage my dive sites by hand-editing the XML. At present, if
I enter Times Square as a dive site and tell Subsurface to create a new
site, it happily does so without also creating the coordinates. So, two
things:
1) Allow coordinate selection from marble, as previously.
2) Allow text entry of coordinates as previously.
Currently, when I enter Times Square, it says "create a dive site" with
a + to the right. If the + is chosen, then a panel should open as
suggested in the *attached image*. If "Enter coordinates from world map"
is chosen, then the orange bar at the top of the globe is activated,
allowing a click on the globe to be saved. If text is used, there is a
suitable text box. For me, it would mean a lot if there is a clear
indication whether the text coordinates have (not) been accepted.
Clicking the Apply or the Cancel button (or a click on the globe) closes
the panel. I assume that import from the Companion Ap would follow the
usual dialogue, not involved here. The above would be mostly the
existing code base with minimal new programming.
User manual
===========
That needs massive work for all the amazing features that we have added.
Willem, will you be able to do that?
Absolutely. I will be in the US from Sept 11-Oct 9th but I am available
most of that time.
Once we have agreed on a feature set for the Android app, that needs a
separate user manual as well. Volunteers?
WHAT ELSE?
==========
I'm sure there are other areas that I'm forgetting...

A smaller addition is the work that Miika has put into reading text APD
CCR dive log dumps into Subsurface.
Kind regards,
willem
