It's in early stage, I've start it as test project. User can
load photos, change thumbnails size (in some range) and view full image
after clicking on thumbnail. Also plugin creates an point shapefile
based on photos EXIF tags in same way as Photo2Shape does.

But photos don't stored in any place and after reopening project you need
to load photos again. There is some performance and quality issues with
thumbnails generation.

Yes, I have some other ideas. Also I think Maxim has many ideas too.
