Error from open image action in QGIS

Question

I am using QGIS 3.6.

By clicking on a polygon I want that an image associated to this polygon appears (as a pop-up window e.g.). The path for the pics are stored in the attribute table (string field).

Creating a generic action:

with the following action text:

open [%image%] or open [%"image"%]

doesn´t function showing the error:

With these instructions the action still doesn´t function.

What I´m doing wrong?

UPDATE: the appropriate images are store locally (no websites, no URL links). The images should appear locally and not as a website pop up in QGIS.

Answer 1

This method works for websites or images (will show in a QGIS 3 Window/Browser)

You will need to point your field url in this case with some Python.

In this case, using the url field (and linking an action)

Then using the Python code

from PyQt5 import QtCore
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtWebKit import *
from PyQt5.QtWebKitWidgets import *
web = QWebView()
web.load(QUrl("[%url%]"))
web.show()

then click on the action "open web"

creates a new window QGIS 3 to the web URL (or image)

this can be your localhost (depending on if using mac/windows/unix)
