[NOTE]
Unfortunately DivingLog XML files give us no
indication on the preferences set on one's system. So in order for
_Subsurface_ to be able to successfully import XML files from DivingLog
one first needs to ensure that DivingLog is configured
to use the Metric system (one can easily change this within Diving Log by
selecting 'File -> Preferences -> Units and Language' by clicking the 'Metric'
button). Then do the following:
The best way to bring your logs from DivingLog to Subsurface is to
convert the whole database. This is because other export formats do not
include all the details, and we would lack e.g. gas switches and
information of what units are used. With database import, all this
information is included and readily available for us.
1. In DivingLog open the 'File -> Export -> XML' menu
2. Select the dives to export
3. Click on the export button and select the filename
To transfer all files from DivingLog to Subsurface, do the following:
1. In DivingLog open the 'File -> Export -> SQLite' menu
2. Select 'Settings' button
3. Set the 'RTF2Plaintext' to 'true'
4. Close the Settings dialog
5. Click 'Export' button and select the filename
Once this is done, open the saved database file with Subsurface and the
dives are automatically converted to our own format. Last step to do is
save the log file in Subsurface.
