[Qgis-user] New KML Tools -> Export KMZ Supports Images in Placemark Popups

[C Hamilton]

I just released a new version of *KML Tools* (
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/kmltools/) that enhances the *Export KMZ*
algorithm to include the ability to specify a photo attribute which will be
included in the KMZ and be displayed in the Google Earth popup. The photo
attribute needs to be the complete file path to the image. It is also wise
to make sure the images are only small thumbnail images. The latest KML
Tools plugins require QGIS 3.14 or later.

One use case is to use the QGIS processing algorithm "*Vector
creation->Import geotagged photos*". This creates a vector layer that
contains a *Photo *attribute. When you run *Export KMZ* in *KML Tools*
select the Photo attribute for *Image path/name field*. Each of the images
will be copied to the resulting KMZ and will be displayed in the Google
Earth popup when the user clicks on any of the placemarks.

Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions with this new
capability.

Thanks,

Calvin
