[Gdal-dev] gdal_merge fails to merge more than 4 input files

[Sarah Clapham]

Frank, Sorry for the delay in reply - direct python access worked fine.
Bug report entered into FWTools Bugzilla this morning but looks like you
have already addressed the issue.  Will look forward to the new fwtools
release!  Many thanks for your great work! Regards, Sarah

Julien,

Neat! I didn't realize something like that could be done in a BAT file.
Gillian also mentioned to me that %* means all arguments, so I have
modified all the bat files in the FWTools tree to just use %* instead
of the long list of %1 %2 etc.   This will appear in the next FWTools
release.

Best regards,
