Hi, I'm a bit of a noobie to QGis, so please be gentle when explaining the obvious!!I am wanting to display geotagged photos in QGis (1.8.0-Lisboa running on Open Suse) I have found the web site: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/geotagphotos/wiki but cannot get the plugin to appear in the plugins / Fetch Python Plugins dialog box. What is the plugin called? What repository is it in? Is it still available from a repository? Can someone please step me through the process of installing software / plugins to import geotagged photos into QGis? The plugin was called photo2shape. I also didn't have much success with it, so instead I do the following, manually: I use exiftool to grab the required tags from the photos. At least GPSLatitude, GPSLongitude, and Filename. I run this in a loop to create a comma separated text file with each photo represented by one line. Now I use the Delimited Text plugin to create a point shapefile of the photo locations. In the attribute table I will have the actual filename of each photo. Next define an Action on this new shapefile (Layer properties windows->Action tab) which will open the photo in your image viewer. You can see detailed instructions on setting up an action in the QGIS documentation: http://docs.qgis.org/html/en/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#actions-tab The action will be composed of the viewer binary + full path to the photo. After getting that setup, a right click on each point will bring the info windows with the option to run the action. HTH, Micha (I use the exif for my own qt applications, so am reasonable familiar with it. It is the qgis python bit that eludes me!)
