raster save as VRT fixes and improvements, fixes #6821

History

#1 Updated by Radim Blazek almost 12 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Closed

#2 Updated by Radim Blazek almost 12 years ago

  • Resolution set to fixed
Fixed, some other changes and fixes:
  • VRT checkbox moved above output file/dir because it depends on it
  • Tiles renamed to VRT Tiles because currently used only for VRT
  • VRT Tiles hidden if output is not VRT
  • correct VRT output in raw mode
  • correct VRT no data values
  • disabled auto enabling of pyramids building when VRT is checked - we should not tend to be more clever than a user
  • check if output VRT files exist in VRT dir
  • VRT tile files save as <basename>.<index>.tif

Hi Radim,

I'm not sure showing the VRT Tiles groupbox below is the best approach - wouldn't it be better to have it right below the VRT checkbox, or has a popup? Or just keep it as a checkable groupbox, so you activate it and get the settings right next to it?

Also I'm not sure having it as a checkbox "Create VRT" is intuitive - what does it mean? a gtiff as VRT? or just a VRT file?

IMHO easier to understand with a single checkable groupbox "VRT Tiles"

I want to keep the most important options (mode, format, output file/dir) at top and additional options below. Because VRT checkobox must be before file/dir selection because it depends on it, I moved it above. Tile size is an additional option, less important than output file/dir.

or has a popup?

Popups are bad and we are trying to avoid popups AFAIK.

Or just keep it as a checkable groupbox, so you activate it and get the settings right next to it?

That would be possible, but it would add a "noise" above file name.

Also I'm not sure having it as a checkbox "Create VRT" is intuitive - what does it mean? a gtiff as VRT?

Yes, the tiles must have some format, so the output will be GeoTIFF tiles + VRT.

or just a VRT file?

IMHO easier to understand with a single checkable groupbox "VRT Tiles"

Another doubt: would not it be better to select as output a VRT file (<basename>.vrt) instead of a directory? It would give more control over the basename to user and it would allow to save more VRT in one directory. The tiles would be named <basename>.<index>.vrt. It is no problem for the user to create a new dir if necessary in the select dialog.

What others think/prefer?
