Hi Florian and Ivan:<br><br>Sorry for my late reply, I meant a raster dialog to wrap the funtionality<br>of gdal_translate. For example choose a raster file, select a new file, an<br>output format and the creation options to export from gtiff to ecw,<br>jpg2000 or any other format available in gdal. An example of such dialog<br>is the openev export tool.<br><br>The openev export tool is written in python and I tried to create a python<br>plugin borrowing the code but I couldn't make the progress callback of<br>gdalcreatecopy work. I always got a runtime error saying "object passed<br>is not a python function". Florian if you are working with python have you<br>faced this problem?<br><br>I can think in a class like QgsVectorFileWriter for rasters to enable a<br>"save as" option to export the currently selected raster layer in legend<br>to any gdal enabled format.<br><br>Also if you are doing something similar I would like to join efforts instead<br>of replicating work.<br><br>Regards<br>Godofredo Contreras<br><br>> From: ivan.lucena@pmldnet.com<br>> To: fhillen@uni-osnabrueck.de; qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org<br>> Subject: RE: [Qgis-developer] GSoC: GDAL/OGR frontend plugin?<br>> Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:36:37 +0000<br>> CC: <br>> <br>> Hi There,<br>> <br>> Good discussion and I hope I am not intruding. <br>> <br>> Are you guys talking about a "Export Raster Data" dialog similar to what ArcMap has?<br>> <br>> A UI where you can enter create-options, data-type, metadata and output-format? <br>> <br>> That would be nice but it doesn't look like a plugin but rather a internal implementation.<br>> <br>> Just a thought.<br>> <br>> Regards,<br>> <br>> Ivan<br>> <br>> <br>> > -------Original Message-------<br>> > From: Florian Hillen <fhillen@uni-osnabrueck.de><br>> > Subject: RE: [Qgis-developer] GSoC: GDAL/OGR frontend plugin?<br>> > Sent: Mar 12 '09 16:30<br>> > <br>> > Hi Godofredo,<br>> > <br>> > do you mean translate a JPEG into a TIFF?
