* You are back in the Export pop-up. Press the button 'Export'
- Your dives are now exported to the file Divelogs.SDE.
-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 pop-up 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.

-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-transfer, 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 favorite 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 transferred 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 <<AppendixB,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.
+Reading Suunto Divemanager Export in Subsurface
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file Divelogs.SDE can now be opened (or imported) in
+Subsurface. Different from earlier versions of Subsurface, no manual
+unpacking of the .SDE file is needed anymore.
