[gdal-dev] Is it possible to "hide" some ERROR messages?

[Tom Kazimiers]

Hi Daniele,

were to you get those error message? Since GDAL is a library  it
shouldn't come up with thing like this - at least not errors which are
shown to the user automatically (like message boxes or std::out prints
(I guess). So if your application gets no dataset for a file it will get
NULL returned, you can then do with this information what you want -
either inform the user about it or not.

Bye,
Tom
