Suunto for Mac update broke Import

Post by akouris »

Recently Suunto updated its software for OSX/Mac.

That update has unfortunately broken the syncronization between Dive Love and Suunto.

The "Database" button shows dives only until the point of the Suunto update, and there is no other way to import data.

Is a Dive Log update planned soon that will fix this?

Yes, I found out about the new version of the Suunto software around the same time as we were releasing ours. I managed to get the fix into Dive Log DT (version 4.3.3) and into Dive Log Manager (version 2.3.3.2) that is on our website. But the free version of Dive Log Manager in the Mac App Store had already been reviewed by Apple at the time and so I was too late. I'll be submitting a bug fix for it very soon but of course it will take awhile for the process to complete.

In the mean time, if you're using the free Mac App Store version, you could download the website version to get the fix.

One thing you'll probably want to do though is install this version of the application in a different place than your Applications folder so that you don't "over write" the Mac App Store version of the app. I'm not positive, but I think this would interfere with future App Store updates. So you might want to just create another folder inside your Applications folder and put the website version above in it instead.

The fix actually looks for the latest version of the Suunto database file (as best it can right now) so it should continue to work even if Suunto does another update. In the future, we'll probably have to have a way to let the user pick the file themselves just to be safe.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
