version 2 of the U-boat logs generator ready:

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?7725fcao9988kc1

list of new features:

coordinates divided by a comma (e.g. 53.31N, 08.12E), as used by uboat.net, are now accepted.
new "magic number" format. It now encompasses the following information:

doctrine / report / veterancy level / days elapsed / total patrol days / fuel left / distance to the next refitting point / ships attacked / torpedoes loaded
added several base port presets. You should select them as patrol start/ending locations instead of setting a coordinate. List of ports currently featured:

Bergen
Bordeaux
Brest
Brunsbüttel
Cadiz
Danzig
Eckernförde
Fedosia
Flensburg
Gotenhafen
Hammerfest
Hela

If you meet any port not included in this list, you should report it, specifying the coordinates that you have used for it, and I will add it to the next version of the generator.
Added two new "current activity" selectable items:

heading to refitting area
refitting aborted

You should use the heading to refitting area tag from when the boat start heading for the refitting rendez-vous to when she gets refitted. Select refitting aborted if for any reason the refitting had been cancelled. A "succesfull refitting" report will be generated at the end of a string of consecutive heading to refitting area tags, unless the next tag is refitting aborted, shadowing single unit, shadowing convoy, attacking contact, avoiding enemy warships, avoiding enemy planes, facing warship attack, facing air attack, facing combined attack, U-boat destroyed, in which case it is intended that the refitting was cancelled or postponed. The refitting aborted tag will generate a refitting aborted report, whereas the other tags won't generate any special report, but the ones previously connected with them.

When a succesfull refitting report is generated, the fuel left counter will be updated (according to the distance to base/next refitting rendez-vous) as well as the torpedo loaded counter (up to a max of 4 torpedoes depending on the number of ships attacked since the patrol start/last successful refitting).
Added a Show refittings at sea on map option, to display on map the locations of the recently added tags.
A tonnage sunk data entry cell now replaces the previous crew ranking input. You should enter there the tonnage sunk by the
U-boat commander, from the beginning of his career (even though in another boat) to the current patrol (current patrol included). Captured ships or ships sunk by mine shouldn't be counted. Warship tonnage and damaged ships should count as "normal" tonnage.
See the discussion between me and keysersoze a few posts back, for further detail on this topic.

You can copy/paste your old logs in the new log generator, and make then the required adjustements, without need to re-enter all the data again (just make sure that only input cells -the white ones- are copied/pasted, or the generator won't accept the new data)

That's all, I think
