@ -1459,10 +1459,35 @@ If one selects the dustbin, the image is removed from the dive. Therefore some c
is required when clicking on a thumbnail. Clicking on any other
part of the thumbnail brings up a full size
photo overlaid on the _Subsurface_ window. This allows good viewing of
the photographs that have been added. See below:
the photographs that have been added. See the image below. Alternatively a photo
can be deleted from the _Photos_ tab (se text below).

==== 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.
