This facilitates the interaction +between _Subsurface_ and an external repository of photos. When associating a dive profile with photos from an +external drive, the normal procedure of selection and synchronisation (see text above) is used. +However, after the external drive has been disconnected, _Subsurface_ cannot access these photos any more. +If the display of photos is activated (using the toolbox to the left of the _Dive Profile_), the +program only shows a small white dot where each photo should be on the dive profile. +In addition the _Photos_ tab only shows the file names of the photos. This is normal behaviour. +If, later, the external drive with the photos is connected again, the photos can be seen in the normal way. + == Obtaining more information about dives entered into the logbook |
