[gdal-dev] RasterIO vs progress bar

[Tamas Szekeres]

Oliver,

There have been an effort to provide such kind of options in GDAL RFC 24 (
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc24_progressive_data_support)
for the drivers involved in slow IO operations an possibly in use of
multiple threads in this regards.
I guess it might be a bit unrelated to this issue but just in case.


Best regards,

Tamas
