Check if the limit of 20 steps can be bypassed #11

Garmin Training Center limits the workouts to 20 steps.  Woudl it be
possible to bypass this limit to allow bigger workout?

20 steps is hard limitation for units using the USB protocol.

For USB mass storage and ANT agent, Garmin could change the behaviour. As 
backward
compatibility is problematic, I guess they have not done it.

Yes, I highly doubt that it is possible to bypass the limit but I was thinking 
of
maybe programming an "auto-split" feature.

Basically the plugin would allow more than 20 steps and when we export it could 
be
split when the next step doesn't fit in the current workout's "part".  With 
automatic
names, we would end up with a split-up workout named something like 
"WorkoutX_1",
"WorkoutX_2", "WorkoutX_3"... that would each contain up to 20 steps and then 
the
user only has to go from part 1 to 2 to 3 to execute their complete training...

Am I being clear?

20 steps limit is a big problem to me. I really hope it can be bypassed!

Me too.  This artificial 20 step limit is a real pain when you're trying to 
design 
long workouts with lots of short (and different repetitions).

I've started to implement a split feature in the plugin.  It allows to easily 
split a
workout into several (that have a 20 step limit).  The idea is explained in 
comment
2.  It will be available in the next release of the plugin.
