files. This is no longer necessary as we now unzip them while opening
them.

Reading Suunto Divemanager Export in Subsurface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Renaming your file to a .zip:
- Use the filemanager (explorer) and navigate to your Divelogs.SDE file
- Right click on the Divelogs.SDE file and choose 'Rename'
* Change the name into Divelogs.SDE.zip
* Press enter when done. A warning pop-up shows:
The file could be unusable when changing the extension. Are you sure:
Press OK.
* Your filemanager will show now the filename Divelogs.SDE.zip
When you double click your Divelogs.SDE.zip file, your preferred archiving
tool will start and show you the list of xml files that are in the zip
archive. Select all the xml files and extract them to a place where you
can find them later in the process.
Unpacking the Divelogs.SDE on Linux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The assumption is that you have exported your Divelogs.SDE on a Windows
system. You have to transfer the file to a location where you can read it
from within your Linux environment. You can use file-transfer, shared
storage or an USB storage device to do this.
The example uses an USB storage:
- Insert your USB storage into your Windows computer
- Use the filemanager (explorer) to navigate to the location where your Divelogs.SDE file is located
- Copy the file to your USB storage:
* Select the file by 1 click
* Press Ctrl+c
* Navigate to your USB Storage
* Press Ctrl+v
- Disconnect your USB storage by right clicking your USB storage in the explorer and choose Eject
- Insert your USB storage into your Linux computer
- Use your favorite filemanager to navigate to your USB storage
- Copy the file to /tmp by:
* Right click on the file
* select copy
* navigate to /tmp
* press Ctrl+v or use the menu 'Edit - Paste'
- The file is now transferred to /tmp
Now the file is in /tmp, we can extract the xml files from it. You can do
this by hand, or use the example script in <<AppendixB,Appendix B>>.
To extract the xml files, we need to open a terminal and use the following
commands:
cd /tmp
mkdir suunto
cd suunto
unzip ../Divelogs.SDE
Your divelogs have now been extracted from the Divelogs.SDE file and you
can import them with the command:
subsurface *.xml
And with the menu 'File - Save' you can save your dives into the
Subsurface format.
The file Divelogs.SDE can now be opened (or imported) in
Subsurface. Different from earlier versions of Subsurface, no manual
unpacking of the .SDE file is needed anymore.
