IDEA: right-click to display geotagged image on map

You pick one - I'm not going to ask for any 'scope creep' when you're doing this as a quickie favour! :-)

It's your software so feel free to choose the one you like.  Either one is the same work to implement (which is to say, hardly any work at all).    :D

Alternately, I could pop up a little GUI that would offer buttons to allow you to choose either of them.  Your call.

Well, for the sake of simplicity I'll pick the plain Google version (one less click to get to the map).

(The 'scope creep' option I had at the back of my mind was a registry entry which if present would be used in preference to the default URL format string - which would also add a little future-proofing in case Google changed their URL.)

Any preference on the context menu entry text?

Assuming the context menu only shows for jpegs (.jpg and .jpeg, i.e. we don't need to put the word "photo" or "picture" in the text to explain what we're geolocating), then simply "Geolocate" would be enough. I was in two minds about something in more plain English such as "Locate on map" but with all those other services available at the geohacks site, such as finding photographs taken nearby, it might not always be as simple as placing it on a map; whereas 'geolocate' is vague enough to cover all the options.

I don't expect the right-click menu to know in advance whether an image has a geo tag or not, that's too fancy and I doubt it's even possible.

If there's no latlon info in the file, will you be putting up an error box, or just bringing up a map with no pointers placed?  (If there's a choice I think I'd prefer an error box but whatever is easiest...)

thanks,

Graham
