gdaltindex did not work. The Windows EXE does not like 'wildcards' and
does not recognize ECWs.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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:<br>

Always interested in further improvements to this little python
learning exercise. :)<br>
