QGis-Python-Plugin to scan directories and create/update/synchronize layers with extracted file metadata

Original purpose: Digital photos with GPS-lat/lon coordinates in Exif-header.

• Quick scan a directory and create temporary point-layer with the extracted meta-data
• GPS-meta-data in jpegs will be used for feature-geometry (PointZ)

• the PreScan-result-layer can be synced with any other point-layer, e.g. to successively build up a georeferenced digital photo archive

• refresh or complete extracted file-metas in existing layer

• The plugin has been developed under the latest versions since 2025, currently
  • 3.42.3-Münster
  • 3.34.10-Prizren (LTR)
  • Windows (10 + 11)
  • Linux (Ubuntu/Mint 21.2)
• not tested (but should run) with older QGis-3-Versions
• not tested on macOS
• please report bugs or ideas for missing features
• or translation-errors :-)
