OK Excuse me for method but I want to understand.

In old gdal 1.1.8 I had the tiff files with number suffix
filetiff.1
filetiff.2
filetiff.3
filetiff.4

and after I choose the order for my BGR (blue-red-green for 
quickbird). I choose 321 for my output.

 From gdal 1.1.9 the tiff file have a color suffix.
filetiff.red
filetiff.green
filetiff.blue
filetiff.alpha

and I must change the name of 2 files.
I read the QuickBird specification and the bands are blue, green, red.

With the number suffix I worked with GDAL and GRASS like  ENVI for 
RGB images...

Thanx
