Hi, You are right, images that are told to be skipped are really skipped and I have nasty holes in tileindex in that place. Behaviour relates somehow to where I run the command. If I run gdalindex from the same directory where the images are it goes through OK. Even if I still give the full path to images, e.g.
G:\Data\Shares\Ilmakuva2\Ilmakuvat\M059_WMS>gdaltindex test.shp G:\Data\Shares\Ilmakuva2\Ilmakuvat\M059_WMS\*.tif That one works, but if I run the same command from some directory on D: disk it fails with some images. This is server machine and D: is a partion on system disk. G: is some SCSI or PATA disk unit, I am not sure. Perhaps that is part of the problem. I can repeat the error and it happens with just downloaded FWTools 2.2.8 as well. -Jukka Rahkonen- > -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- > Lähettäjä: Even Rouault [mailto:even.roua...@mines-paris.org] > Lähetetty: 15. joulukuuta 2008 20:07 > Vastaanottaja: Rahkonen Jukka > Kopio: gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org > Aihe: Re: [gdal-dev] Gdaltindex > > Hi, > > the behaviour you describe is a bit weird.
