[gdal-dev] default to 'interleave=band'?

[Vincent Schut]

  Hi,

is there a way to have gdal (utilities and library interfaces, notably 
python) default to band interleaving instead of pixel interleaving when 
writing geotiffs? I know this changed some time ago, but I'd rather have 
the old behaviour as many of my scripts are based on delivering max 
performance with band-interleaved files... Would it be possible to have 
a gdal environment variable to override this, for example? I tend to 
forget appending -co "INTERLEAVE=BAND" (or the option in my python 
scripts), and then wonder why everything runs so slowly...


Regards,

Vincent.
