Hi Willem,
For me this sounds like a permission problem when using snap.
According to
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1034030/how-to-get-access-to-usb-storage-from-an-application-installed-as-snap,
you can use "snap connect some-snap-name:removable-media" to allow an
application installed by snap to use external media. Assuming that the
subsurface snap is simply calles "subsurface", the command should be
"snap connect subsurface:removable-media".
Best regards
Christof

My photographic images are on an external hard drive, labeled as
'TOSHIBA EXT. I cannot access the images from within subsurface.This
coincidental with moving to a fresh newly-intalled Ubuntu on a new
clean machine.
I use Ubuntu 23.10
PROBLEM 1:
------------------
Permissions for the external drive as follows:
willemf@fergusn:/media$ ls -l willemf
total 4
drwxrwxrwx 1 willemf willemf 4096 Nov 19 16:45 'TOSHIBA EXT'
Obviously I work in the media directory located in the root directory
and the first part of the path is /media/willemf/'TOSHIBA EXT'
The system location of one such image is:
willemf@fergusn:/media/willemf/TOSHIBA EXT/Fotos/Sodwana.2023
Mei/darktable_exported
The relevant image in the above directory is:
$ ls White*
'Whitespotted butterflyfish Chaetodon kleinii.jpg'
The path and existence of the image is explicit.
The divelog reference of the above image is:
<picture filename='/media/willemf/TOSHIBA EXT/Fotos/Sodwana.2023
Mei/darktable_exported/Whitespotted butterflyfish Chaetodon
kleinii.jpg' offset='+30:35 min'/>
The reference in the divelog appears correct. Granted, the spaces in
the reference cause complications but Linux can easily deal with that
by using the ' ' notation.
Subsurface does not recognise any of these references in the dive log
and consequently shows an "Image not found" icon in the media panel of
Subsurface. I have no idea how to address this issue.
The above issue possibly relates to:
PROBLEM 2:
------------------
Cannot set image directory in Subsurface GUI
Screenshot from 2023-11-22 10-24-49.png
When I try and set the directory with images, it does not se anything
within the media directory. Consequently it is impossible to import
images into Subsurface. The above media directory is the one in the root.
Could this be an installation issue on my side? I installed the snap
from the Subsurface website and did not build it myself.
One last gripe. My installation of Subsurface does not show a launch
screen and directly goes to the full GUI with all the dive
information. Thus I do not know which version of Subsurface I work
with. But the snap was installed 4 days ago. I cannot find the
Subsurface log file.
Kind regards, Willem
