Add bulk image export button

[spwoodcock]

Requirement

• First off, thanks for this plugin - it's fantastic!
• At HOT we use this to import drone imagery into QGIS, from multiple source directories.
• An additional requirement is to bulk export all of the imported images (copy them) into another directory.
• This collection of images is then uploaded to another tool for processing into an orthomosaic.

Solution & Screenshots

1. I added a bulk export button to the toolbar, with an icon and dialogs.

   

2. Clicking the button opens a similar dialog for layer selection to the 'Update Photos' button (I reused the code, which only allows for the selection of layers generated by this tool).

   

3. A directory selector dialog is shown.

   

4. The 'Path' attribute for the layer is used to copy the files to a new directory. On success a dialog is shown.

   

The test directory containing 3 image sub-directories (flight1, flight2, flight3):

The content of the final output directory, with the subdirectory name prepended to the files:

Notes

• The diff is huge, but the contribution is actually quite small. I ran pyrcc5 -o resources.py resources.qrc to update the resources.py file.
• I also fixed a bug where closing the layer selection dialog for 'Update Photos' causes an exception (as no layer is selected for subsequent code).
• We would love to make another contribution to allow for spatial filtering via a layer selection (currently spatial filtering is only possible from canvas extent). Is this a desirable contribution?
• Also worthy of note, should I be including some translations in this PR too?

Hi again!

Is this project maintained & open to pull requests? Or am I better off forking?

I’m glad to see it being used by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Amazing, thank you 🙏

Thanks to you for this plugin! Its very helpful for visualising and pre-processing drone imagery files 😁
