Scuba Forum / Scuba Equipment / October 2004Divelog software project
I've slogged away day and night :o) and my eyes are like roadmaps, my kids have left home and my wife thinks she's married to a screen addict, but hey i finally added those photos to the divelog software tada :) i doesn't affect any original photos! rather it copies them, resizes them, then creates thumbnails and 640x480 images in a separate directory and off course displays them in the main divelog form i thought 640x480 was enough because the original images remain the same what do you think? so you if you want to you can try it out for me and let me know what you think. www.kazdivephotos.com kaz ps: i also added or fixed the calendar, table, data lock and screen resizing amongst other things  Signature???`??k?z????`? > I've slogged away day and night :o) > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > ps: i also added or fixed the calendar, table, data lock and screen resizing > amongst other things Yeah, but is still doesn't work for Macintosh, UNIX or Linux :-) Alan I can bet if it did work for Mac or UNIX, it wouldn't be free. The Linux version would only work with a certain revision and would take 2 weeks to install because you would be missing some silly package someplace. > ?

This version looks much nicer. Your calendar still needs more work. It needs to have the days of the week at the top of the columns otherwise it isn't very usefull. Is there a way to sort the dives by date? I have a bunch of old logs i want to add, but don't want them numbered AFTER my current dives. I would like to be able to sort ALL of the dives by date (or have this happen automatically). Keep on building on it.. soon you will have something ready to sell I think.

This version looks much nicer. > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > resizing > > amongst other things I just installed the dive log software yesterday, and wanted to write you about a few things. 1. I like the entry layout - nice 3d effect, loads of fields.... 2. No search function is really a make or break function for me. A database without a search function is IMO, severely crippled. 3. Every calendar I've ever seen begins with Sunday and ends on Saturday. Your calendar begins with Sat and ends on Friday. While I'll admit that is how some divers view the week (;) it's a bit confusing. Also, the drop down calendar starts always on December 2004. Can you make it so it starts on the current month? 4. The picture function is great and fast! Nice job. 5. The dive chart is really nice! 6. This is the only dive log software I feel I could use on a regular basis. But with out a search function to search the Comment and other fields, it is a little hard to use. Some final comments: An active email address where people can write you for comments and support would be better than taking up bandwidth in usenet. It would be nice to have a *print preview* function. Also, a one-line-per-dive report would be very handy and save paper. You could leave out all the non-pertinent fields, and just use all the basic fields: location, BT, depth, time, date, etc. Also, the ability to export reports to .txt format would improve compatibility and transportability of reports. Again, nice job. Great potential to be a really great program. Would you mind if I posted an announcement on alt.comp.freeware? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The way to really make an apple pie from scratch is to first invent the universe. -Anon hi rockinghorse winner, thanks for your comments! i really appreciate it :) there is the type of dive search already in the program press 'deep and shark and excellent and photos' will list only those dives i will be adding a text 'search' function very soon i'm just working on something else at the moment the text file export is a good idea, i will add that also! i think i'll go one better and add html export as well, thanks again for your comments :) you can email me directly from the program. just click on the email link in the about box and all blue text are hyperlinks in your buddy list as well i'm not sure if the new email function where you can send buddies your dive and photos in the main menu works with all versions of ms outlook, it should attach the main dive window and any photos you have for that dive and place it in the outbox, does this work for you? Q. Would you mind if I posted an announcement on alt.comp.freeware? no i don't mind as long as you use the web link and not the zip file download link because i might change the directory where the zip file is. thanks again! kaz you can download the divelog software for free at www.kazdivephotos.com or www.actiondivers.com.au ???`??k?z????`? > I just installed the dive log software yesterday, and wanted to write you > about a few things.
