Hi David,

You can achieve the opening and previewing of images from within a feature form in QGIS.

Head over to the properties of your layer, select "attributes form" and select the field that has your image path in. From the "widget type" drop down on the right select "attachement". Now scroll to the bottom of the widget box and you'll see "integrated document viewer", choose image.  This will provide a preview of the image in the feature form.  Just above "integrated document viewer" you will see a tick box that says "user hyperlink for document path", tick that.  Now you will have a feature form that has a hyperlink users can click to open the image as well as a preview of the image.

Hope that helps


Phil

Hi I want to associate images with a shape file which I can then open. I am trying to use actions to do this but am not getting anywhere. I have a field with the file location as a text field. I have tried an open file and also tried running an application neither of which seem to produce a result. It works on a Mac but not on Windows 10? I am running version 3.4. Thanks David
