<pre wrap="">Hi,
I'm a bit of a noobie to QGis, so please be gentle when explaining the
obvious!!
I am wanting to display geotagged photos in QGis (1.8.0-Lisboa running
on Open Suse)
I have found the web site:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hub.qgis.org/projects/geotagphotos/wiki">http://hub.qgis.org/projects/geotagphotos/wiki</a>
but cannot get the plugin to appear in the plugins / Fetch Python
Plugins dialog box.
What is the plugin called?
What repository is it in?
Is it still available from a repository?
Can someone please step me through the process of installing software /
plugins to import geotagged photos into QGis?
</pre>

The plugin was called photo2shape. I also didn't have much success
with it, so instead I do the following, manually:<br>
I use exiftool to grab the required tags from the photos. At least
GPSLatitude, GPSLongitude, and Filename. I run this in a loop to
create a comma separated text file with each photo represented by
one line.<br>
<br>
Now I use the Delimited Text plugin to create a point shapefile of
the photo locations. In the attribute table I will have the actual
filename of each photo.<br>
<br>
Next define an Action on this new shapefile (Layer properties
windows->Action tab) which will open the photo in your image
viewer. You can see detailed instructions on setting up an action in
the QGIS documentation:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://docs.qgis.org/html/en/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#actions-tab">http://docs.qgis.org/html/en/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#actions-tab</a><br>
The action will be composed of the viewer binary + full path to the
photo.<br>
<br>
After getting that setup, a right click on each point will bring the
info windows with the option to run the action.<br>
<br>

(I use the exif for my own qt applications, so am reasonable
familiar with it. It is the qgis python bit that eludes me!)
With thanks,
