Interesting idea. We could extend one of the nodes to always allow photo additions and geotagged photos could be a kind of geo dataset.
The contribution back is tricky but the xml itself shouldn't be too hard
I'm giddy with excitement for this feature. It has the same "exponential utility" as RAVE itself.
A few random thoughts:
Implicit in all our suggestions is that we are talking about baking photos into many kinds of riverscapes projects rather than storing them in a dedicated "photo" project type. (Not that such a thing couldn't exist in parallel.)
Awesome ideas @philipbaileynar
@philipbaileynar this might be a good one for @nick4rivers to work on as he has done a bunch of this for QRiS. I think this should be broken out into the different actionable tasks needed for:
I think we should prioritize this after we understand how much work it is.
Many have asked to see geo-tagged photos in Riverscapes projects. I'm incorporating this in the Planning LTPBR projects and I know @nick4rivers will include it in his LTPBR Design stuff.
Manual Option
ESRI has an easy way to do this where you just put your Geotagged photos in a folder (inside project if you want it there), and point to it and run this really simple geoprocessing tool. It produces a shapefile that points to pictures and grabs geotag to make shapefile.
This article ellaborates.
Then we just plug it in project.

Open Source Photo Point Generator
@philipbaileynar asked to see if @MattReimer could figure out an open-source alternative to this (i.e. for generating the shapefile and attribute table from photos with geotags on them in a folder like a Riverscapes Project folder).
