Cannot add column headings to dive list (after removing them all)

[Jaspal Sahota]

I (foolishly) removed all the columns from the dive list (all the rows in the dive list had become shorter than normal after I had been rearranging columns and I couldn't find a way to change the height of the rows).

Having removed all the columns there seems to be no way to add them back - right click doesn't show a list of columns to be added.

I tried uninstall, clear the %appdata% folders, reinstall, but I got the same blank dive list :(

Is there perhaps a config file I can edit to fix this?

Thanks

Jas

That's a fascinating error case that I don't think we've seen before.

The settings are stored in the registry on Windows and manually messing with that is a bit tricky.

I wonder if we should add a "reset everything" nuclear option somewhere.

Right now I'm not sure what to suggest outside of removing the corresponding keys in the registry (and since I don't have a Windows system to check right now, I can't even tell you which registry keys)

hm....

maybe quick and dirty:

uninstall subsurface -> open "regedit" -> search for all subsurface-entrys and delete them -> reinstall subsurface

Thanks, I found them in: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Subsurface\Subsurface

Uninstall, delete the keys then reinstall seems to have fixed the columns :)

Unfortunately, increasing the font size to larger than the default 7.88 (I like 10...I'm getting older) causes the rows on the dive list to be too short (I've attached a picture). Putting the font size back to 7.88 makes the rows readable again. FWIW I'm on a surfacebook with a high res display (3000x2000) in case that makes a difference?

Regards

hi jaspal

the with could be set by mouse (or, more tricky, in the registry) - but not the hight of the rows (or i didn't find it).

for shure the resolution of 3000x2000 is a little bit high ;-), but have you tried to swith to another font? maybe with another screenfont it is better (or you play around a bit in your windows-screen-settings).

sorry to have no better ideas

nice we

submitted a possible fix for the row height issue as well:

tested on Windows 7.
