[Qgis-developer] Geophoto management

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all,
a frequent request from user is a better management of geotagged photos.
What most users expect is to:
1. be able to load geotagged photos
2. display the locations
3. display the photo clicking on the location
* possibly also to show a miniature.
Currently we have:
* an old and relatively complex C++ plugin, much more powerful than
this, and thus overkill for such a simple task
* the external plugin photo2shape, that only do #1 and #2, has issues
with py libraries, and leaves photos in an external path
* a plugin that helps georeferencing photos.
My suggestion would be to modify photo2shape to save on a
spatialite/geopackage db:
* the photos
* their locations
* the line joining consecutive points
* the photos themselves
* a form that will display the photo on click.
Such a plugin would be IMHO a good candidate for inclusion in core.
Is anyone working on something similar? Better ideas?
All the best.
