Hi all,

I am attempting to use the GDAL tools plugin (a core plugin) to generate a raster from a vector.
It should be Raster -> Rasterize

When I want to select a file to save the output into, I'm getting confused.
Following SOP, I press the select button, browse to the right place and type my filename in.
But the button that is normally named "save" stays greyed out.

Now, the button that is normally "save" says "open" which seems odd.

Am I going about this right?

If I am, can anyone confirm this?
I forgot to say:
1.7 on linux r 15655M
using GDAL tool 1.2.25

Ok, and I'm going to have a stab at answering my own question.
On my linux box QGIS is compiled against 1.6.3, which means gdal_rasterize can't make it's own rasters. Hence, open not save.

Correct.

Sorry for the dumb-user question.


Not dumb at all. Others have stumbled over the same problem.

Related to this, in windows-land the osgeo installer has me up to 1.8 (so on windows GDAL can make a new image).
Is my linux install a bit backward?

Yes, although 1.7 is really only a "bit" backward.

I would have thought using different library versions on different platforms would be adding complexity?


That kind of complexity comes with any multi-platform application like QGIS.  I think the devs and packagers have done an amazing job of keeping all three platforms more or less in line.
