<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Mateusz,<br><br>That seems like a good idea. <br><br>But I don't know if I should unify two drivers an put then on frmts/mixed. It will certainly works in the new structure proposed by RFC 46 but it might create some problems for me. What I am most interested is to have two driver (that uses the same data container) sharing a little bit of code.<br><br>The RFC 46 says "Various data containers can accept both
data types" and by that I understand it means "at the same time". The same dataset can contain Vector and Raster.<br><br>If I understood it correclty, if you use gdalinfo with one of those dataset it will call GDALOpenEx with GDAL_OF_RASTER and if you use ogrinfo with the same dataset it will call GDALOpenEx with GDAL_OF_VECTOR. So nothing new under the sun here, from the user point of view. What is a very good thing.<br><br>But it might be a case where you would like to develop or unify some drivers and put then into the mixed folder. I don't know.<br><br>In my case I would like to have a folder structure to keep my two driver under the same folder.<br><br>Something like that:<br><br>/frmts/container/<br>/frmts/container/vector<br>/frmts/container/raster<br><br>But that idea doesn't help with your concern about a large number of sub-folders under /frmts.<br><br>What do you think?<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Ivan<br><br><div>> From: mateusz@loskot.net<br>> Date: Mon, 26 May 2014 17:36:49 +0200<br>> Subject: Re: [gdal-dev] RFC 46 GDAL/OGR unification adopted and commited<br>> To: even.rouault@mines-paris.org<br>> CC: lucena_ivan@hotmail.com; gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org<br>> <br>> On 26 May 2014 17:21, Even Rouault <even.rouault@mines-paris.org> wrote:<br>> > One thing that just came to my mind is if we want every drivers to stay under<br>> > frmts, or if we want more structure like frmts/raster, frmts/vector,<br>> > frmts/mixed.<br>> <br>> IMO, the frmts folder as a single bag for all drivers will quickly become<br>> difficult to navigate through.
