Hi all

2 questions for which I have not found the answers...

1st: Since I sold my CCR, I've change my old beloved OSTC cR for a brand new Perdix.
Can I delete the old OSTC from the import menu to clean it?

2nd: I changed my profile, but the newest is not loaded as the default profile when I launch Subsurface. Is there a way to mark it as the default profile?

Thanks Subsurface users!
Thomas

ad 1: You can delete dive computers in the preferences. But it only shows the last four computers anyway, so there is no risk of "blocking space" or whatever.

ad 2: You probably know that you can chance profiles with cursor left/right. Select the one you want to have as default. Then right click on the dive computer name in the lower left corner of the profile. There you can make this dive computer the "first".

Best
Robert

Hi 

Thanks Robert, I manage to erase all my previous computer, and it is much cleaner now.

For my 2nd question, I think that we are not talking about the same thing.  When I launch Subsurface, the default profile is one I do not use and which is empty (no dive recorded). I choose another profile down the "Files" menu. See attached image:  opiff.xml is not used, and I would like Thomas JCB.xml to be launched as default profile.

Regards

You can configure what divelog to use by default under preferences. Open the Preferences dialog, choose Dive log from the left, and you get the option to choose local file or cloud storage (specifying which local file to use)
