But at least two of the dives have duplicates that were edited +by Dirk in the Suunto Dive Manager, so they don't trigger the "exact +duplicates" match. + +WARNING! I wasn't kidding when I said that I've done this by reading +gtk2 tutorials as I've gone along. If somebody is more comfortable with +gtk, feel free to send me (signed-off) patches. + +Just as an example of the extreme hackiness of the code, I don't even +bother connecting a signal for the "somebody edited the dive info" +cases. I just save/restore the dive info every single time you switch +dives. Christ! That's truly lame. + +Also, I don't actually integrate directly with libdivecomputer, I just +read the XML files it can spit out. But I included my own raw dive +profile xml files for anybody who isn't a diver, but decides that they +want to educate me in gtk. + +NOTE! Some of the dives are pretty pitiful. All the last dives are from +my divemaster course, so they are from following open water students +along (many of them the confined*water dives).
