Alternatively, you can start sunsurface with the --import comand 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.
Subsurface will similarly import xml exports from DivingLog as well as
Suunto DiveManager.
When importing dives subsurface tries to detect multiple records for
the same dive and merges the information as best as it can. So as long
as there are no time zone issues (or other reasons that would cause the
beginning time of the dives to be substantially different) subsurface
will not create duplicate entries.
