[Qgis-developer] Future of the GDALTools plugin

[Mathieu Pellerin]

Alex, there is one aspect where gdaltools plugin still surpasses
processing, namely the possibility of creating virtual rasters from
multiple files without having to load those in QGIS to begin with.

If that could be dealt with, I wouldn't look back to the plugin in a
hundred years :)
