[gdal-dev] Re: gdaltindex invalid shapefile

[estrada.adam at gmail.com]

Olly,
    I am getting the same error/warning message when I use gdaltindex
but the output is still good.  My version of ArcGIS 9.2 is reading the
file without any issues.  You will have to project it though...The
projection from the input imagery is not assigned to the output
shapefile index.

AWE
