Editing Bottom Time To Date

Hello, I started diving using a paper log and logged 40 hours and 26 minutes on the paper log for dives 0-61. My dives 62 onward are all on the DiveLogDT software. Of course the "Bottom time to date" section in the app only accounts for the bottom time for the dives listed in the app. In the summary, I would like the bottom time to date to reflect all of my total bottom time including those logged on paper. So, I made a new dive, numbered it as "0" and tried to add it as a 40 hour 26 minute dive to account for all my dives logged on paper. I tried writing it as 40:26:00 and it counted it as 40 minutes. I tried writing it as 1 16:26 and it counted it as 1 minute. Similar to how we can adjust the start number of the dive, is there a way to adjust the start amount for the bottom time to date? Thank you!

Yes! Go to the Statistics panel. In the far right top corner, you can enter the "Starting Total Dive Time" of 40 hours and 26 minutes. This number will get added to your Bottom Time to Date calculation. You can get rid of your Dive#0.

For future reference, the DiveTime field is just minutes. It can be entered as <mins>:<seconds> or it can be entered as a decimal number like 40.3 minutes or just 40 minutes. In your case it would have been 2426 minutes. (40*60+26)

Cheers,
Janice

Ah, yes of course! Somehow I breezed past the Statistics panel. Thank you for your fast response!
