sincere congratulations on your ingenous QGIS and the many extremely useful extensions. In my research on African archaeology I work a lot with geotagged pictures (drawings; photos; plates etc.) which are elements of self-defined GIS data records and which I display on my own maps, satellite imagery and the like using photo2shape. Now, what I am really dreaming of is to be able to look at preview thumbnails (that can be opened in larger size by a click) instead of symbols on my maps, such as it is possible, for instance, in ArcGIS or GoogleEarth.
Is this already possible in QGIS? Or would someone develop it perhaps? This feature would be extremely useful for all sorts of research and other applications.

Another possibility might be to put your geotagged photos inside a HTML annotation. Nathan demonstrated this feature on his blog.
Maybe you could write a python script, which converts the coordinates inside your geotagged pictures into a point layer and afterwards assigns a html-annotation containing a thumbnail with your image (and a link to the original) to each of the created points.
