[Qgis-user] QField: adding photos, but how?

[Ville Koivisto]

Hi Bernd,

I haven't followed instructions in that link of yours precisely since I've never had the need to capture several images for a same feature. 

But I can guarantee that this functionality works and works great (at least for me). 

Have you tried without setting up relations, just having one field that's going store captured image path and then configuring it as a "attachment" in layer properties in QGIS? The correct place to do that is in attribute form. Skip to the last part of the instructions found in your link. 

Images will be saved to your mobile device, into a new folder (DCIM) that will be located under your project folder. That's at least the default behavior.

Hope this help.

Br,

Hi,
for a long time I wish to use QField .. in the field, but as I do not manage to set up a reliably working configuration, I still have to use Locus all the time when I need to take notes in the field.

As the ability to take linked photos is crucial for me, I gave it another try and tried to follow the instructions on the website.
https://qfield.org/docs/project-management/add-1-n-pictures.html

Can anyone confirm that it is possible to take linked pictures following these docs? I have the feeling that there are missing some important steps or settings or other infos.

Tried now for 2 days and will soon give up again for the next 2 years.

I think it would be much easier if there would be a tiny downloadable example project , so I could cross-check the settings and configurations.

Anyway, grateful for any kind of input,
Bernd
