one imports photos from the Web, it asks for a URL. I
provide a URL to a dropbox directory with photos taken

expected the usual dialog as when importing photos from
hard disk. What is the precise procedure?</span><br

<div class="">This, unfortunately, is not how it (currently)
works: So far, you need the URL of the actual image (not a html
page that contains images), something like <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://example.com/myimage.jpg"
class=""><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://example.com/myimage.jpg">http://example.com/myimage.jpg</a></a></div>
<div class="">Then the dialog closes and after the image is
retrieved, the usual dialog as you call it should open. If the
download fails or does not produce a recognisable image, then
unfortunately it simply does nothing. We should display an error
message…</div>

<p>This helps a lot, Robert. Thank you.</p>
<p>I have not been successful in doing this type of import primarily
because I do not have a simple web site to load photos onto. The
URLs provided by Dropbox and Google Plus are complex because I
suspect they they point to an environment (Dropbox/GPlus) for
viewing the photo, not to the photo itself. This is probably why
it does not work.</p>
<p>But I think an error message when the load is not successful is
really important from the user perspective.</p>
<p>One more query. I suspect when one loads an image from the Web,
the pointer in the dive log (*.ssrf) points to the web site, and
every time the dive is displayed, the image is loaded from the
Web. is this correct?</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
