Alternatively a photo +can be deleted from the _Photos_ tab (se text below). image::images/LoadImage6.jpg["FIGURE: Full-screen photo on dive profile",align="center"] +==== The _Photos_ tab + +Photographs associated with a dive are shown as thumbnails in the _Photos_ tab of the _Dive Notes_ +panel. Photos taken in rapid succession during a dive (therefore sometimes with large +overlap on the dive profile) can easily be accessed in the _Photos_ tab. This tab serves as +a tool for individually accessing the photos of a dive, while the stubs on the dive profile +give an indication of when during a dive a photo was taken. By single-clicking on a thumbnail in +the _Photos_ panel, a photo is selected. By double-clicking a thumbnail, the full-sized image is +shown, overlaying the _Subsurface_ window. A photo can be deleted from the _Photos_ panel by selecting +it (single-click) and then by pressing the _Del_ key on the keyboard. This removes the photo both +from the _Photos_ tab as well as the dive profile. + +==== Photos on an external hard disk + +Most underwater photographers store their photos on an external drive. If such a drive can be mapped +(almost always the case) the photos can be directly accessed by _Subsurface_. 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 |
