User manual: replace some images, minor updates

Except for the images involving the dive profile, all the images now are
from Gnome 3. Images for dive profile awaits finalisation of the new dive
profile.

Small changes to the text of the manual have been done, the most important
of which is that dealing with using the unified import dialogue of
Subsurface.

Maybe you have a lot of dives logged using other dive log software. You don't
have to type all information by hand into _Subsurface_, because you can probably
import your divelog. _Subsurface_ will import divelogs from a range of other
dive log software. Some software is supported natively (e.g. divelogs.de,
JDiveLog, MacDive, and Suunto DM4), for others you have to export your logbook
to XML and then _Subsurface_ can import that XML file (Suunto DM3, DivingLog).

==== Importing dives from *Suunto Divemanager 3 (DM3)*
==== Using the universal import dialogue
Before you can start importing dives from 'Suunto Divemanager', you first
have to export the dives you want to import. _Subsurface_ does not import
directly from the 'Suunto Divemanager' log files. The following procedures
can be used for Linux and Windows.
Importing dives from other software is performed through a unified interface that
is activated by selecting _Import_ from the Main Menu, then clicking on
_Import Log Files_. This brings up the dialogue *A* below.
===== Export from *Suunto Divemanager*
image::images/Import1.jpg["FIGURE: Import dialogue: step 1",align="center"]
- Start 'Suunto Divemanager' and log in with the name containing the logs
- Do not start the import wizard to import dives from your computer.
- In the navigation tree on the left side of the program-window, select your
dives.
- Within the list of dives, select the dives you would like to import later:
* To select certain dives: hold 'ctrl' and click the dive
* To select all dives: Select the first dive, hold down shift and select the
last dive
- With the dives marked, use the program menu 'File -> Export'
- The export pop-up will show
- Within this pop-up, there is one field called Export Path.
* Click the browse button next to the field Export Path
** A file-manager like window pops up
** Navigate to the directory where you want to store the Divelog.SDE file
** Optionally change the name of the file you want to save
** Click 'Save'
* You are back in the Export pop-up. Press the button 'Export'
- Your dives are now exported to the file Divelogs.SDE.
===== Reading Suunto Divemanager Export in Subsurface
The file Divelogs.SDE can now be opened (or imported) in _Subsurface_.
[[S_ImportingDivesSuuntoDM4]]
==== Importing dives from *Suunto Divemanager 4 (DM4)*
To import divelog from 'Suunto DM4', you need to locate the DM4 database
where the dives are stored. You can either look for the original
database or take a backup of the dives. Both methods are described here.
===== Locating the Suunto DM4 database
* Start Suunto DM4
* Select 'Help -> About'
* Click 'Copy' after text 'Copy log folder path to clipboard'
* Now open Windows Explorer
* Paste the address to the path box at the top of the File Explorer
* The database is called DM4.db
===== Backing up Suunto DM4
* Start Suunto DM4
* Select 'File - Create backup'
* From the file menu select the location and name for the backup, we'll
use DM4 in here with the default extension .bak
* Click 'Save'
* Your dives are now exported to the file DM4.bak
===== Reading Suunto DM4 backup in _Subsurface_
Importing the logs from DM4 does not require any special steps. You just
do the following:
* Open the following menu 'File -> Import File(s)'
* Browse your directories to the location where your DM4 backup is
stored
* Select the backup file you want to import and click 'Open'
It is also possible to do the importing from command line:
subsurface MyDives.xml --import DM4.bak
Towards the bottom right is a dropdown selector with a default lable
of _Dive Log Files_ which gives access to the different types of direct imports
available, as in dialogue *B*, above. Currently these are XML, UDDF, UDCF,
JDiveLog, Suunto Dive Manager (DM3 and DM4), MacDive (XML), DivingLog 5.0 (XML),
Kenozooid (UDDF) and CSV dive logs. Selecting
the appropriate file in the file list of the dialogue opens the imported dive
log in the _Subsurface_ *Dive List*.
==== Importing from Mares Dive Organiser V2.1
Mares Dive Organiser is a Windows application. The dive log is kept as a
Microsoft SQL Compact Edition data base with a .SDF filename extension. The
data base includes all Dive Organiser-registered divers on the particular
computer and all Mares dive computers used. The safest way to obtain a copy

Mares utilise proprietory Windows software not compatible with multi-platform software,
these dive logs cannot be directly imported into _Subsurface_. The safest way to obtain a copy

from the main menu and to back up the data base to your desk top. This
creates a zipped file DiveOrganiserxxxxx.dbf. Rename the file to

==== Importing dives from *MacDive*
Importing logs from MacDive is as easy as it gets. Do the following
steps in Subsurface:
- Open the following menu _File - Import File(s)_
- Browse your directories to the location where your MacDive logs are
stored
- Select the log file(s) you want to import and click 'open'
- Click the OK button in the pop-up
After a few moments, you see your existing logs in _Subsurface_. Now you can
edit your dives like explained in the section <<S_EditDiveInfo, Updating the
Dive Information>>.
_Subsurface_ imports all the relevant dive information
excluding the used equipment and diver name.
It is also possible to do the import from command line:
subsurface MyDives.xml --import MacDiveDives.xml
[[S_ImportingDivinglog]]
==== Importing dives from *DivingLog 5.0*
Before you can start importing dives from _DivingLog_ you first have to
export those dives. Unfortunately DivingLog XML files give us no
indication on the preferences set on your system. So in order for
_Subsurface_ to be able to successfully import XML files from DivingLog
you first need to make sure that your copy of DivingLog is configured
to use the Metric system (you can easily change this in 'File ->
Preferences -> Units and Language' by clicking the 'Metric'
button). Then do the following:
- In Divinglog open the 'File -> Export -> XML' menu
- Select the dives that you want to export
- Click on the export button and select the filename
This file can now be opened in _Subsurface_ (as described in the previous
sections).
[[S_ImportingDivesJDiveLog]]
==== Importing dives from *JDiveLog*
JDiveLog stores its information in files with the extension of .jlb that contain
all the information except images in XML format.
By using _File -> Import File(s)_ from the Main Menu you get a pop-up asking
for the file name. To import your JDiveLog file(s) do the following:
- Open _File -> Import File(s)_ on the menu
- Browse your directories to the location where your *.jlb file is
- Select your existing *.jlb file and click 'open'
- Click the OK button in the pop-up
After a few moments, you see your existing logs in _Subsurface_. Now you can
edit your dives like explained in the section <<S_EditDiveInfo, Updating the
Dive Information>>.
Information that is imported from JDiveLog into the *location* field:
- Extended dive location information
Information that is merged into the *notes* field:
- Used amount of weight
- Used type of suit
- Used type of gloves
- Type of dive
- Dive activity
Alternatively, you can start _Subsurface_ with the --import command line
which will have the same effect:
subsurface MyDives.xml --import JDiveLogDives.jlb
will open your divelog (assuming that's called MyDives.xml) and then
import the dives from JdivelogDives.jlb. You can now save the combined
divelog back as MyDives.xml.

==== Importing dives from *Kenozooid*
_Kenozooid_ uses UDDF to store dives and is tested to work with _Subsurface_.
Make sure you are not using compressed files when importing to _Subsurface_
or uncompress them manually beforehand.

==== Importing UDDF Dives
_Subsurface_ supports UDDF as a generic import format.
Some attributes in your file may not get processed properly. Select
