+=== Exporting dive information to _Facebook_
+
+Export of dives to _Facebook_ is handled differently from other types of export. This is because
+export to _Facebook_ needs a connection to _Facebook_, requiring a _Facebook_ userID and password.
+If, from the Main Menu, one selects _File -> Preferences -> Facebook_, a login screen is presented
+(see image *A* to the left, below). Ensure that there is not another active _Facebook_ session
+using an Internet browser outside of _Subsurface_. Provide a _Facebook_ userID and password.
+Once successful login to _Facebook_ has been achieved, the panel
+in image *B*, below is presented. This panel has a button that needs to be selected in order to close the
+_Facebook_ connection.
+
+image::images/facebook1_f20.jpg["Figure: Facebook login",align="center"]
+
+*Important:* By default the login to _Facebook_ is terminated when _Subsurface_ is closed. However,
+the checkbox labelled "Keep me logged in to Subsurface" in image *A*, above allows one to keep the
+connection even after _Subsurface_ has been closed. This allows one to launch _Subsurface_ at a later
+stage and transfer more dive profiles to _Facebook_ without first having to log into _Facebook_. Keeping the
+_Facebook_ connection open has two penalties: a) a security risk for the open connection to be exploited by
+unwanted outside parties; b) the Internet bandwith required can be increased when a _Facebook_ connection
+is kept open.
+
+Having established a login to _Facebook_, transfer of a dive profile to one's _Facebook_ timeline is easy.
+A _Facebook_ icon appears in the *Dive Notes* panel of _Subsurface_ (See image *A* below). Ensure that the dive
+that needs to be transferred to the timeline is depicted in the _Subsurface_ *Dive Profile* panel. Select the
+_Facebook_ icon, and a dialogue is shown, determining the amount of additional information transferred
+with the dive profile (see image *B*, below). In order to transfer a dive profile to _Facebook_, the name of a
+_Facebook_ album needs to be provided. The checkboxes on the lefthand side allow one to determine how much
+additional information should be transferred with the dive profile. This information is shown in the text box
+on the right hand side of the panel (see image *B*, below). Having specified the additional information, select
+the _OK_ button which triggers the transfer to _Facebook_. After a while, an acknowledgement dialogue appears,
+indicating successful transfer to _Facebook_.
+
+image::images/facebook2_f20.jpg["Figure: Facebook login",align="center"]
+
+If required, then close the _Facebook_ connection by either closing _Subsurface_ or by selecting _File -> Preferences -> Facebook_ from the Main Menu, and clicking the appropriate button on the Facebook Preferences panel.

+[[S_Export_other]]
+=== Export dive information to other destinations or formats
+For non-_Facebook exports_, the export function can be reached by selecting _File -> Export_, which brings up
the Export dialog. This dialog always gives two options: save ALL dives, or save only
the dives selected in *Dive List* panel of _Subsurface_. Click the appropriate
radio button (see images below).
