[Merkaartor] Strange behavior with geotagged images

Hi,

I've been using merkaartor for years, but I'm new to this mailing-list.
Recently I took some photographs with my mobile phone, that I geotagged 
with the tool gpscorrelate using a gpx file (obtained with a GPS 
datalogger and gpsbabel).
Sadly, whenever I try to import those geotagged photographs with 
merkaartor, it fails with a message "/tmp/Photo0066.jpg could not be 
opened".
While writing this message, I figured out that opening instead of 
importing works. Moreover, while I thought opening them would lead 
the current layers to be closed, they were not.
Is that the expected behavior?

Moreover, even though I could open my images, the GeoImage dockable 
window still appears to be empty. I may be missing something obvious, 
but what's the point of the window?

For what it's worth, I'm using merkaartor as available in the Debian 
package version 0.18.1-3.


Cheers,

Nicolas Boullis
