+12. Importing dives from JDivelog
+
+Maybe you have been using JDivelog and you have a lot of dives logged in
+this program. You don't have to type all information by hand into
+Subsurface, because you can import your divelogs from JDivelog.
+
+JDivelog stores its information into files with the extention of .jlb.
+These .jlb contain all the information that has been stored, except your
+images in xml format.
+
+By using the menu 'File - Import' you get the popup, like described in
+chapter 4, Importing new dives. Within this popup there is the option
+to import existing files which are already on your computer. To import
+your JDivelog file(s) do the following:
+
+ Open 'File - Import' on the menu
+ Use the file locator under XML file name
+ Browse your directories to the location where your *.jlb file is
+ Select your existing *.jlb file and click 'open'
+ Click the OK button in the popup
+
+After a few moments, you see your existing logs in Subsurface. Now you can
+edit your dives like explained in chapter 6.
+
+Information that is imported from JDivelog into the location field:
+
+ Extended dive location information
+
+Information that is merged into the location or notes field:
+
+ Used amount of weight
+ Used type of suit
+ Used type of gloves
+ Type of dive
+ Dive activity
+
+Alternatively, you can start subsurface with the --import comand line
+which will have the same effect:
+
+ subsurface MyDives.xml --import JDivelogDives.jlb
+
+will open your divelog (assuming that's called MyDives.xml) and then
+import the dives from JdivelogDives.jlb. You can now save the combined
+divelog back as MyDives.xml.
+
+Subsurface will similarly import xml exports from DivingLog as well as
+Suunto DiveManager.
+
+When importing dives subsurface tries to detect multiple records for
+the same dive and merges the information as best as it can. So as long
+as there are no time zone issues (or other reasons that would cause the
+beginning time of the dives to be substantially different) subsurface
+will not create duplicate entries.
+
+
+13. Importing dives from Suunto Divemanager 3.*
+
+Before you can start importing dives from Suunto Divemanager, you first
+have to export the dives you want to import. Subsurface does not import
+directly from the Suunto Divemanager log files. The following procedures
+unpacking instructions for Linux and Windows.
+
+13.1 Export from Suunto Divemanager:
+
+ Start Suunto Divemanager and login with the name containing the logs
+ Do not start the import wizard to import dives from your computer.
+ In the navigation tree on the left side of the program-window, select your dives.
+ Within the list of dives, select the dives you would like to import later:
+ To select certain dives: hold ctrl and point & click the dive
+ To select all dives: Select the first dive, hold down shift and select the last dive
+ With the dives marked, use the program menu 'File - Export'
+ The export popup will show
+ Within this popup, there is one field called Export Path.
+ Click the button browse next to the field Export Path
+ A file-manager like window pops up
+ Navigate to the directory where you want to store the Divelog.SDE file
+ Optional change the name of the file you want to save
+ Click 'Save'
+ You are back in the Export popup. Press the button 'Export'
+ Your dives are now exported to the file Divelogs.SDE.
+
+13.2 Unpacking the Divelogs.SDE on Windows
+
+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 popup 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.
+
+13.3 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-tranfer, 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 favourite 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 transfered 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 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.
