Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Auto-cataloging of image files
Sounds like gdaltindex is what you're after, but I thought I'd mention my attempts at creating a vector and raster metadata collection script. It recursively scans and interrogates almost all OGR and GDAL support formats and outputs XML. Not sure if it's beyond alpha quality yet, but in case anyone is interested: http://code.google.com/p/spatialguru/wiki/SpatialDataCataloguingScript Always interested in further improvements to this little python learning exercise. :) - Original Message - From: Paul Ramsey pram...@cleverelephant.ca Date: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 4:35 pm Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Auto-cataloging of image files To: OSGeo Discussions discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://www.gdal.org/gdaltindex.html On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 4:02 PM, Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd) scrop...@botanicusaustralia.com.au wrote: Hi, First, sorry for cross-posting to anyone also on the gvSIG- International List.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Auto-cataloging of image files
Tyler, gdaltindex did not work. The Windows EXE does not like 'wildcards' and does not recognize ECWs. Your python program looks promising as a catalog of datasets in a directory but does not create a spatial representation of this information, which is what I need. Additional functionality worth considering is the ability feed the routine OSGeo Project Files for the various open source GIS packages and have the datasets used extracted and used to create a project catalog with all the relevant metadata. The users could also be allowed to augment certain fields. A utility like this would be good to reference what vector and data was used in a project when the information is still on the system. If you are like me, I am bound by Data Supply Agreements, which require me to remove the data from my computer once the project is finished. Prior to deletion it would be great to get as much information on what was used as possible. Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, Victoria 3020. P: 9311 5822.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Auto-cataloging of image files
Paul, After ferreting around the web I found some other people who had the same problem with the Windows EXE files you can download from the link you provided. They suggested that you could try to use the version compiled with FWTools. I triued this and it worked. Go figure. Different compilers or something.
