Is there an import from ScubaPro's SmartTrak software to Subsurface DiveLog?

[cgfa...@heurix.com]

I am running an old Windows Vista box, using SmartTrak for my Galileo Sol dive computer. I have a bunch of previous dives on the SmartTrak and hate to lose them. Is there any kind of import from SmartTrak?

[Lubomir I. Ivanov]

Subsurface maintains a separate tool for SmartTrak, but i'm not sure
it will work for your use case.

https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/releases/tag/v4.8.6
see smtk2ssrf*.exe

Slavador can provide more details here.

thanks.

Good night.

Well, the tool is quite simple and the prebuilt binaries are 32b, so I think it
should run on Vista. It used to work fine on XP and 7, but I've tested last
release only in Win10.

Nevertheless, if you run into trouble, you can always sent me
(privately) the .slg file and I'll try to import it.

Best regards.

Salva.

Greetings,

First, Thank you for all the time spent on building these tools. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I have over 1300 dives in SmartTrak that I would like to import into Subsurface, and there are a few issues. I can run the "Smarttrak to subsurface converter" just fine, and it just complains about one single dive being "manual or unknown computer". I can open the resulting file in Subsurface. (But if I try to "import" the same file, parsing fails) 

But..

1) The dive locations are often wrong. For lots of dives the program has applied a location from a different dive.

2) Non-english characters are not converted properly in any text.

I have tried this on and off for a number of months, hoping that the next version would work, but still no luck with the latest version of both converter and Subsurface.

If there are any pointers on how to write a converter myself, I would be happy to read. I have a little bit of coding experience.

Many thanks,

Andreas

Adding to my note, I tried the web-version of the converter (https://thetheoreticaldiver.org/rch-cgi-bin/smtk2ssrf.pl) , and the resulting file did not have the 2nd problem I listed (regarding non-English characters), but the first issue was the same.

Salvador (in CC) is the principal author of the smtk importer. He knows it best, I hope he has some time to look into this. The online version is just a wrapper around the offline program so I don’t really know how the difference for the non-English characters come about. Maybe you can share (possible off the mailing list) your file with us and we can come up with something.

In case you want to look into this yourself: The file you want to look at is most likely https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/blob/master/smtk-import/smartrak.c and my guess is that for your file, there is something unexpected related to indexing into the locations/wrecks table.

Thank you Robert!

I will have a look and see if I can figure something out..

Best,

I did this without any extra software. Unfortunately it was quite some time ago and I don't recall exactly how. I might have exported my log into a format that could be imported into Subsurface. Maybe one of the DAN formats?

[Salvador Cuñat]

Hi Andreas.

Sorry for my delay.  I'm on family holidays and having a bit of diving.

I'm going to send a patch that should fix the issue.  I was assuming that site and location tables were sorted, it seeems to be false under some circustances (the high number of diver may be one of them as I had to join some logs to be able of reproduce the issue).

Do you want to be included in the patch as reporter of the bug?

You were right.  Site & Location tables are not always sorted (as I had expected). Nevertheless the patch is trivial and I will send it as soon as Andreas confirm if he wants to be included as reporter in the patch.

Best regards,

[Andreas Hagberg]

Many thanks Salvador!

I'm just grateful you found the issue so quickly.  I look forward to testing it.  You can use my name as a reporter of the bug if you like. The working software is what matters to me. :)

Andreas,

I finally (had do to a distribution upgrade to be able to build subsurface) got around to update https://thetheoreticaldiver.org/rch-cgi-bin/smtk2ssrf.pl to use Salavador's patch. Could you try that again?

Thanks

Robert

[Andreas Hagberg]

Thank you Robert!

 

Now it works!

 

Gratefully,

Andreas

Hi,

Today I have tried to convert my Scubapro SmartTrak database with around 260 dives in it. Both steps described above (using smtk2ssrf and the website) fail. smtk2ssrf quits unexpectedly, and the resulting ssrf file in both cases is 0 bytes in size. Is there something else you can recommend to import my dives into subsurface?

I would love to switch away from SmartTrak, but would like to keep my full dive history - beyond what my Galileo Sol has stored in memory - that I am keeping there.

Thank you very much!

Ivar,

could you please email me your SmartTrak file (hel...@atdotde.de) and I will see if I can do something for you.

It was a while ago that I migrated to Subsurface, but I believe I exported all my dives from SmartTrak to a different format - perhaps one of the DAN ones. That file imported into Subsurface without any issues.

Matthias.

Thank you, Robert. I have sent your my SmartTrak file separately via e-mail. -ivar

Most of my logged dives are in Subsurface but it appears I have to use SmartTrak for an Aladin as the only PC (laptop) I have with an IRda port runs Windows XP. Unless someone has come up with a sneaky way to run Subsurface on XP and get around Cancelioex error in kernal32. Maybe an older version?

[Ivar Fennema]

Hello,

Perhaps good to know that the Scubapro IR dongle works trouble free on Windows 10. Thus far, since switching from SmartTrak to Subsurface, I have imported a few dozen dives from my Galileo Sol. The IR adapter is supported natively in Windows, unlike other infrared interfaces. The Scubapro IR kit still seems to be available for sale on the internet.

Kind regards -ivar
