In any case, exiv is more or less unavoidable if we want geotagged photos (which is useful anyway). I vote for inclusion in trunk.

[Qgis-user] Early beta of EasyGeoTagger available for download
Howdy QGIS Users, We are happy to introduce a new plugin. EasyGeoTagger (EasyGT) [http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/easygeotagger/index.php?mid=67] is an easy-to-use open source software application for geotagging digital images that runs on Linux, OSX and Windows. EasyGT comes with additional plugins that greatly extend the capabilities of QGIS. EasyGT includes a native QGIS data provider and accompanying plugin ( LoadExifDataset ) that allows a directory of geotagged images to be treated as vector ( point ) data source. Together with the Event Visualization Tool (eVis), natural resource managers, conservation practitioners and general enthusiasts have access to powerful suite of free tools for editing, mapping, and displaying digital images in a geographic context. EasyGT is in the very early stages of development. This early release only contains a windows binary for use with the OSGeo4W package and build instructions for Linux ( don't need to build QGIS from source however ). Binaries for Linux and Mac OSX will be available sometime in the near future. Version 0.3.0 currently includes the following capabilities, * Preview and tagging of JPG, TIF, PNG and most raw image files (e.g., NEF, CRW ) * Manual editing of GPS EXIF data * Coordinate selection from Google Maps (requires Internet connection) * Coordinate selection from custom data layers when used as a QGIS plugin * Interactive selection of coordinates from delimited text files * Convert raw image files to JPG and copy all EXIF data * Scriptable through a built in Python console * Simple and flexible plugin interface for extending and adding functionality We hope that you find this early beta interesting. Please provide us with some feedback! Also if anyone is interested in helping, we are always looking for contributors ( documentation, translators, and coders ). -pete -- Peter J.
