Splits, results & comparison

Where each import lives

The import section's source tabs are Local File, Recent, Results, Connections and Comparison. Results imports the event's official results file, Connections imports an activity from a connected account such as Intervals.icu, and Comparison lays a clubmate's recorded run beside yours. Split times are not one of these tabs — the split importer sits at the top of Control Points on Route Data, where the controls it places live. All of these write into the project like any other import — and every import can be reverted in one step.

Split times from pasted text or a photo

Open the split importer at the top of Control Points on Route Data and paste one split per line — a time like 12:34 or 1:02:03, optionally with a control code (31 12:34). Times can be cumulative or per-leg; Dibber reads them and shows its guess for you to confirm before anything is applied.

• From a photo or screenshot: upload an image or paste one straight from the clipboard (Ctrl/Cmd+V). Dibber reads the text and fills the box below, where you can fix anything before parsing. Reading an image uses one text recognition credit where credits apply; if the text looks unreliable it warns you, and if nothing readable is found you can try a clearer photo or type the times manually.
• Before applying: a review table shows one row per line — where each split lands along your track (moving an existing control or creating a new one), and any problems with the row. Exclude rows you don't want. If the cumulative/per-leg guess is wrong you can switch it, and when a start control is in play you can choose whether time starts at the start control or at the track start.

What applying does — and how to undo it

Applying places the controls along the project's timestamped track: splits that match existing controls move them, unknown splits create new controls, and legs between non-adjacent controls are removed — with their saved route variants — behind an explicit confirmation. The times are stored as the race's official results times and drive the analysis where a control has one; each control's time is labelled official or track-derived.

Imports are undoable. After an apply, the import section shows a Revert last import card that restores the controls, legs and route analysis from before the import in one step — the record survives a reload, so you can come back and revert later. Two caveats:

• The revert only stays available while nothing else has changed — once the controls, legs, route variants or results have been edited since the import was applied, that import can no longer be reverted.
• Removed legs come back with their saved route variants, but track-linked saved route variants cannot be restored if their referenced track is no longer available.

An import that was interrupted before it finished shows a Discard the unfinished import record action instead, so a half-finished record never blocks the next import.

Official results files (IOF XML)

The Results tab takes the event's official results file — an IOF XML results file in either the 3.0 or the 2.3 form — for a whole class. Dibber matches the file's course to this project's controls and shows you the competitors to pick from; the competitor you confirm supplies the official times that drive the analysis. Controls without an official punch keep their track-derived time.

• The file is read on your device — nothing is uploaded until you confirm the competitor.
• The class's other results stay stored with the project for reference, and you can change which competitor is yours later.
• Replacing the stored results with a corrected file shows exactly what changes before anything is replaced.
• A results import is reverted the same way as a split import — the Revert last import card, with the same caveats.

Comparing another runner's track

The Comparison tab adds a clubmate's recorded run beside yours on one map. Bring it in as a route file (the same formats as Local File, with an optional runner name), or paste a Dibber share link and pick which run it carries — attribution comes from the share, and a run without a name shows as “unnamed runner”. You confirm you have the other runner's permission before it is added.

Both routes render on the map, with per-leg time and distance differences in the comparison panel plus the route-choice read. You can replace the comparison track with another one or remove it — removal is its own reversible step. Comparison is included in Free within normal project and storage limits.
