Subject: Copy bug?
This is not a big deal but I've been plagued with my log constantly switching to U.S. standard units from metric. Today I noticed when it happened. My preferences are all set to metric and both yesterday and today's blog entry screens were showing metric units. Then I copied only yesterday's bike commute data, and related comments, to today's blog. After the copy, my bike data was copied with kilometers as the units but both the swim and run units had been reset to yards and miles. I hope this is enough information to find the bug. Thanks.

Ok, I did some initial testing and changed my settings to metric and logged metric of swim, bike and run.  I then copied to two days later.  It did maintain the metric units for the distances copied.

SOOOOO, from this, I have a few more questions.

1 - You have kept your settings in the 'training control panel' set to meters, km and km correct?

2 - When you are in the logging screen, DOES IT ALWAYS maintain the metric units in the preselected dropdowns for swim bike and run (corresponding to your training settings in #1)?  Or does it change to English?

3 - When you notice that its displaying your daily data in the blog-view in English units, have you checked the 'training settings' screen to see if those dropdown settings of metric have changed?

This will help a lot.  If you don't know the answer to #2, #3...pay attention to #2 as you continue to log, THEN when it happens again, you may notice #2 BUT check your settings in #3.

1 - Yes, my settings in the training control panel were set to meters, km and km.

2 - In the logging entry screen, the preselected units changed from metric to English after the copy operation only for the data not copied. I only copied biking and it worked fine, the other sports' selected units changed on the entry page when I did the copy.

3 - The blog view did not show any change to English because there was no data entered yet for the sports where the units changed. The problem occurs if I enter data for the other sports later and don't notice that the preselected units have changed from my prefered defaults. I didn't check the training settings screen because that hasn't been changing for me, but I'll go look now in case it did.

Edit: My training settings in the control panel remain unchanged. I also changed the preselected units for today's unentered swim and run back to metric after I noticed that they had changed to English when I copied the bike data, so they are OK now.

Bingo.  Found it and reproduced it per #2 and #3.  You're a gem.

Thanks for the superb details as to what you did...will have it fixed this weekend.

Thanks much Ron.

PS: I had a bit of an idea what you needed since I work as a programmer. In fact, while I was going to school I did a couple of work terms in the 'quality assurance' department of a software development company, where my job included finding and documenting bugs.
