The Filter Menu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This menu gives you the choice to enable or disable Events for the
selected divelog(s). At this time, you can enable or disable ascent.
When you enable ascent for your dives, within the dive profile, a yellow
marker with exclamation sign (!) will show on the points where you have
ascended.
The filter menu gives you two very different filter selections.
The first one allows you to create a global filter for certain kind of
events that you no longer want to see displayed in the dive profile
view. Normally all events are represented by small yellow triangles,
but some dive computers create a large number of events that the user
may or may not want to see in the profile (some dive computers for
exampel are very agressively creating "ascend speed warnings" that can
clutter the profile). Selecting this menu will open a dialog that
allows you to select which events should be globally disabled (they
will still be stored in the XML file).
Subsurface also allows you to delete specific events from a dive
profile. This can be done by right-clicking on the specific event that
you want to remove in the dive profile window. Events that are deleted
like this will actually be removed from the XML file as well.
The second entry in the filter menu allows you to display only a
subset of your dives in the dive list, based on specific tags that are
selected in a dialog. This is especially useful when used in
connection with the statistics features of Subsurface.

The Help Menu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Help menu shows only the About, which contains the version and author
information and License button.
The Help menu contains the About entry which displays the version and
author information as well as links to the full license under which
Subsurface is developed and to the Subsurface website.
The second entry in the help menu opens the latest online version of
this manual in the default web browser.
