Sure, I understand how I can use the tagging and filtering to find the appropriate logs. The documentation however states: "For regular divers, the dive list can rapidly become very long. Subsurface can group dives into trips.” I would argue that the feature doesn’t cover reality since not every dive necessarily is part of a trip and you would still want to group them to prevent having a long list of dives (as shown in my earlier screenshot). I can imagine other use-cases as well, but at the end of the day having the ability to group discontiguous log entries gives more flexibility. — Attilla _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
