Write a simple DOS for loop in a batch file instead.

Another solution is to make a script in GRASS gis.

Hi,



First, sorry for cross-posting to anyone also on the
gvSIG-International List.



I just received a CD, and regularly receive CDs, with ~100 1km x 1km
ECW Tiles as part of a contract. Does anyone know of a routine to scan
these files or their associated header files and creates a shapefile
showing the extent of each image?



I sort of imagine running the routine, being asked to specify the
directory containing the image data then having a polygon layer appear
with the extent of each
tile. The attribute table would be populated with layer name,
coordinates, and any other metadata that can be gleaned from the 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.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Auto-cataloging of image files

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

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.

Does not appear to work with wild cards e.g. *.jpg or *.ecw, and does

[OSGeo-Discuss] Auto-cataloging of image files

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Hi,

First, sorry for cross-posting to anyone also on the gvSIG-International 
List.


I just received a CD, and regularly receive CDs, with ~100 1km x 1km ECW 
Tiles as part of a contract. Does anyone know of a routine to scan these 
files or their associated header files and creates a shapefile showing 
the extent of each image?


I sort of imagine running the routine, being asked to specify the 
directory containing the image data then having a polygon layer appear 
with the extent of each tile. The attribute table would be populated 
with layer name, coordinates, and any other metadata that can be gleaned 
from the files.
