## Photos and notes for vineyard rows

This feature lets you document the condition of your vineyard right at the rows - photos of diseases, pests and damage, plus voice notes to listen back to later.

### How it works

1. **QR codes** - every row has its own QR code that you can print out and attach to a post
2. **Scan with your phone** - scan the code with your camera and the row's page opens
3. **Adding attachments** - tap "Add" and choose a photo or recording
4. **Automatic GPS** - the location is read from JPEG photos that contain GPS data

### Attachment types

- 📷 **Photos** - visual documentation, automatically compressed into thumbnails
- 🎤 **Voice notes** - recordings to listen back to or transcribe later
- 📎 **Files** - PDF documents, notes

### Tags (categories)

Label your attachments with tags to make filtering easier:
- **Disease** - disease symptoms
- **Pest** - pest damage
- **Irrigation** - irrigation problems
- **Replanting** - spots that need replanting
- **Damage** - mechanical damage
- **Growth** - growth stages
- **Harvest** - harvest documentation
- **Observation** - general observations

### Printing QR codes

1. Open the row's page (click a row in the list)
2. Click "Print QR" next to the code
3. Print it and laminate it or slip it into a plastic sleeve
4. Attach it to the row's post

### Tips

- Take close-up photos for better quality
- Use tags consistently
- Voice notes are great when your hands are dirty
- GPS only works with photos taken on a phone (not from a scanner)
