[Qgis-user] plugin builder - exifread modul missing in photo2shape

[Torsten Lange]

Hi,

I had my first contact to "how to create my first simple qgis-plugin"...

It began with a fail, because 'exifread' couldn't be imported from photoimporter.py of photo2shape package. It was simply missing.
Btw, for what purpose photo2shape is a required package here?

Isn't exifread supposed to be provided in the QGis installation or was it just expected that I personally had to install it in a step befor?
Just asking to know, if I should tell someone that this should be fixed - or not.

Torsten
