[Qgis-user] import floating point raster (*.flt)

[Even Rouault]

Yeah, this issue has just been raised on gdal-dev mailing list. See
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2011-June/029166.html for more details
and a workaround until GDAL 1.8.1 is released

If you can use a version of GDAL < 1.8.0, you can gdal_translate it into a tif
for example.
