[QGIS-Developer] New QEP: Kill evis

[Tim Sutton]

How about we contact Peter Ersts (original author, I’ve put him in blind CC here) and see if he has any thoughts on this? There was actually some nice functionality in it’s day but maybe better managed by using plugins. It would be nice to have an inbuilt workflow in QGIS where you can just open a folder full of images, view them as a time sequenced track, maybe with some nice Temporal Controller integration that lets you play the images back in sequence, panning the map along from photo to photo.

Regards

Tim
