Having an extra layer for images will raise some new problems: when
loading images according to their timestamps, they will be added to
existing nodes and so it will happen that there are two nodes at the
same place, one in the new image layer and one in the track layer.
originally the layer selection was meant to say which timestamps should
be compared to the image file timestamps to find out where the image was
taken.
it would be a nice idea to have an extra imagelayer for images
containing position data in their exif-headers, but I (at least) think
not really for images without these informations.
If I can find some time I will (try to) add a feature to select the
next/previous trackpoint containing an image.

Hi,
I have just managed to get the support for
geolocalized images working
(via: `qmake GEOIMAGE=1 Merkaartor.pro`)
and also came across a few related things:

Readonly layers are asked to be made writeable when loading geotagged
images to them (rev 13943): This is not acceptable actually, sorry. I'm
glad we now have read-only layers and track layers are read-only by
default (at option), but when I want to load my photos into it, I need
to make it writeable again. Why that? Can't the photos be added to a
read-only layer? Or at least can't the layer be made read-only again
after loading the photos? And could that new warning message please go
away then?
What about just adding a new layer (eg. named "GeoImages" etc.)
when loading geotagged images?
Somehow related to the previous point:
It would be nice, if the images could be specified on the commandline, eg.
merkaartor *.gpx *.jpg
Currently, one gets the error message:
"No suitable layer found. Please first download data from OSM server
or open a track".
Actually, I don't think that this should be really necessary at all:
namely, even just loading images should be allowed
so that one then could download a corresponding region.
One more question:
Is there a way to go from one image to the next image
by some keyboard short-cut (eg. PageDown/PageUp, maybe with
some modifier, for next/previous image)?
(Images should be ordered according to time).
Thanks a lot, Arnd
