Managing photos within Subsurface

Currently the facilities for managing the photos accessible to
Subsurface are fairly crude. One can do a batch import using the "Load
Images" context menu item on the dive list. This shows all the photos
associated with each of the dives. But, once this is done, there is
relatively little way of managing the photos for that dive. One can
delete individual photos from the dive profile, but I think by far the
best place to do this is in the Photos tab where all the photos are
shown side-by-side. One should be able to:
Add individual photos from a directory. I think this is relatively
easily done using the existing batch import but only selecting a single
photo.
Delete individual photos from a dive (with a confirmation dialogue).
This used to be possible, not any more, however without a confirmation
dialogue. This is particularly important if Subsurface cannot find the
image (Ferguson moved the source folder without thinking) and shows a
white dot above the profile. One cannot delete this white dot. At a
minimum one should be able to select the name of the image in the Photos
panel and delete that specific image.
Sort the photos in the Photos panel (at a minimum sorting on EXIF time
or on file name, depth might be interesting). Looks like currently the
ordering is random, differing even between different events of opening
the same dive and photos on Subsurface.
How much of this is reasonably easily implementable?
Kind regards,
willem
