|  | [[Moving_images]] | ||||||
|  | ==== Moving photographs among directories, hard disks or computers | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | After a photograph has been loaded into _Subsurface_ and associated with a specific dive, the directory | ||||||
|  |  where the photo lies is stored, allowing _Subsurface_ to find the photograph when the dive is | ||||||
|  |  opened again. If the photo or the whole photo collection is moved to another drive or to a different | ||||||
|  |  machine, it is unlikely that the directory structure will remain identical to that of the original uploaded | ||||||
|  |  photo. When this happens, _Subsurface_ looks for the photos at their original location before they were moved, | ||||||
|  |  cannot find them and therefore cannot display them. Because, after moving photos, large numbers of photos | ||||||
|  |  may need to be deleted and re-imported from the new location, _Subsurface_ has a mechanism that eases the | ||||||
|  |  process of updating the directory information for each photo: automatic updates using fingerprints. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | When a photo is loaded into _Subsurface_, a fingerprint for the image is calculated and stored with the | ||||||
|  |  other reference information for that photo. After moving a photo collection (that has already been loaded | ||||||
|  |  into _Subsurface_) to a different directory, disk or computer, _Subsurface_ can  perform the | ||||||
|  |  following steps: | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | - look through a particular directory (and all its subdirectories recursively) where photos have been moved | ||||||
|  |  to, | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | - calculate fingerprints for all photos in this directory, and | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | - if there is a match between a calculated fingerprint and the one originally calculated when a photo was | ||||||
|  |  loaded into _Subsurface_ (even if the original file name has changed), to automatically update the | ||||||
|  |  directory information so that _Subsurface_ can find the photo in the new moved directory. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | This is achieved by selecting from the Main Menu: _File ->      Find moved images_. This brings up a window within | ||||||
|  |  which the NEW directory of the photos needs to be specified. Select the appropriate directory and click | ||||||
|  |  the _Scan_ button towards the bottom right of the panel. The process may require several minutes to | ||||||
|  |  complete, after which _subsurface_ will show the appropriate photographs when a particular dive is opened. | ||||||
