I have released a new version of the Photo2Shape plugin. This is a QGIS plugin that allows you to create a point vector layer from a set of geotagged photos.
Users now have the ability to recursively process directories and the option to append data to an existing file. The code has also been refactored, and instead of EXIF.py the more convenient and reliable exifread is now used.
Yesterday my patch adding import/export of connection settings to geodatabases and WMS servers was accepted.
When the user clicks on the import/export button, the following simple window appears
The file to which the data will be written (or from which it will be imported) is selected at the top, and the connections from that file are displayed below. Multiple selection can be made using the Ctrl and Shift keys, also list items can be selected by dragging the mouse.
Once you have saved the file, you can transfer it to another machine and add the necessary connections in a few clicks.
I also forked Tim’s ImagesToShape plugin, rewrote it to use the EXIF.py module and added some improvements. This is how Photo2Shape was born. It is already released, but there is not much feedback yet, or rather none at all :-).
