In principle it’s there, but I am not sure users will understand the procedure. Also there  could be more feedback on consequences of current settings (i.e. with this shift, the following pictures will be mapped to dives…). 

Thanks for bringing this up. With the influx of GSoC students I
completely lost track of this...

I was hoping that at least we could provide a window that in a scrollable list would show all the images linked to a dive, maybe with some additional info (like depth and time for example). This is all not magic, but given my Qt knowledge, for me this is several hours of work away. And currently I spend my subsurface time on GSOC and VPM. At uni, we are currently not teaching but I cannot promise that this type of gallery will be there at some prescribed point in time (but maybe somebody else will try. GSOC applicants?!?)

Yes, I think we might want to disable this for 4.1. It needs a better UI
and a better experience on the profile. I really like the feature (heck,
I spend most of my diving time with a camera in my hands), but I don't
think it's ready.
