I would like to see the capability of adding the tank volume into the calculations. This seems integral for properly managing your gas supply and for the computer to properly calculate RMV and SAC. I think many would agree that this feature has numerous benefits
 
Per Perdix manual

Why SAC instead of RMV?
Since RMV has the desirable property of being transferable between tanks of different sizes, it seems to be the better choice on which to base GTR calculations. However, the main drawback of using RMV is that it requires setting up tank size correctly for each tank. Such setup is easy to forget and is also easy to setup incorrectly. SAC has the great property of not requiring any setup, making it the simplest and most reliable choice. The drawback is that it is not transferable between tanks of different sizes.

Yeah there's other settings that must be set properly too, we should be given the option.

In the meantime, I suggest using MacDive if you are an iOS/OSX user. You can set tank size in there and it will account for that in the calculations when you import it and update the info.
