Hello,
I would like to attach something to a dive site in the dive site management.
For example pictures or pdf´s or something like that.
Is that possbile somehow? If not, could you make that possible in one of the next versions?!

So far this is not possible. What you can do is to attach a picture to a dive at that dive site and use the filter to show all dives at a given site.

Or host the pictures/PDF's online somewhere (Dropbox, Google Drive, Nextcloud) and then put the URL into the dive site notes field, this could be the HTTPS URL or the local file path. I know this isn't what you originally asked for though, just trying to show you that this can be done with the current implementation.

Hello,

 

I contact you regarding my request from two years ago, see below.

Are you planing to realize my wish in one oft he next versions?

 

This would be a perfect possibility having a dive site database included in the existing dive database.

Contributions to the software are done as and when developers have time to do so but also whether they have the inclination to make the change. Embedding .pdf files or images into the dive log is potentially problematic as this would bloat the dive log and that could cause issues with the freely provided cloud storage backend and the mobile app, these are the other things that need thinking about that complicate what may at first appear to be a simple thing. Sites already have a notes field, you could utilise this in a roundabout way to provide a link or path to a .pdf file that you host elsewhere.
