==== 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.
