[OSGeo-Discuss] Auto-cataloging of image files

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Hi,

First, sorry for cross-posting to anyone also on the gvSIG-International 
List.

I just received a CD, and regularly receive CDs, with ~100 1km x 1km ECW 
Tiles as part of a contract. Does anyone know of a routine to scan these 
files or their associated header files and creates a shapefile showing 
the extent of each image?

I sort of imagine running the routine, being asked to specify the 
directory containing the image data then having a polygon layer appear 
with the extent of each tile. The attribute table would be populated 
with layer name, coordinates, and any other metadata that can be gleaned 
from the files.
