[Qgis-user] Updated GdalTools

[William Kyngesburye]

I didn't request it directly (just a general request of plugin developers), but did you add a configuration option to set the path to the GDAL programs?  Applications (ie QGIS) on OS X don't get anything from the shell environment, like the PATH, and so won't find the GDAL programs in the GDAL framework (and on older systems for those that compile a non-framework GDAL, /usr/local/bin is not in the default PATH).

There is a hidden mechanism to add environment variables to applications, but most OSX users won't know about it, and there is no built-in way to configure it (just a 3rd-party pref pane).
