[Qgis-user] Alternative to Evis plugin to view images with relative path

[Madry, Scott]

Hello Fabio and list.  And thank you all for your service to our community.

I also use(d) eVis a lot, and know of quite a few others who do field work (ecologists, geologists, botanists, archaeologists)  who use it and like it for its simplicity and utility.

Many of the end users of QGIS who are not developers have different perspectives and needs, and might also be included in such decisions, if at all possible. Adding new features is great, but taking away useful capabilities should have a higher bar to cross,  it seems. Just my view.

Is there a way that eVis can be reinstated?

Thanks,

Scott Madry

Thanks folks,
I work with Sw maps (field data collector) that generates shapefiles in which a field  links to images through relative path. So I think ImportPhotos plugin is not useful (I need to maintain the original shapefile with relative path to images anche other fields associated). Now I try the solution through widgets ...
Bye!

You could try to work with the ImportPhotos plugin. Though it seems to be buggy and there seems to be no active development on it.

The Evis plugin is no longer available for the latest version of Qgis. Evis
was a simple and effective tool for opening images with a relative path.
What equally easy-to-use alternative exists? Wasn't it convenient to keep
Evis?
