photo2shape are a name for a plugin. I have had success with photo2shape. The photo appears as point-shapes and with attribute: filepath, filename, longitude, latitude, altitude, north (empty), direction (empty), ps_dat, img_date.
I have not find how I will activate and let an application open the photo if i click on it, but with the filepath ans filename it should not be a problem, I think.
