[gdal-dev] GDAL python tools and batch files

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
I'm trying to batch (Windows) a fairly simple task - mosaic and then
pyramid some rasters.

While testing, I've simplified my batch file down to two lines:

gdal_merge -o %THIS_DIR%.tif -of GTiff -co TILED=YES -co BIGTIFF=YES -co
> COMPRESS=JPEG -co JPEG_QUALITY=80 -co BLOCKXSIZE=512 -co BLOCKYSIZE=512
> --optfile tiff_list.txt -co
> PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR
>


> pause



The problem is that once gdal_merge has finished processing, rather than
continue onward the batch file ends, so in this case the "pause" is never
triggered. Doesn't matter what comes next, the batch ends as soon as the
merge is complete.

However the same simple batch file but with a gdaladdo command instead
works fine. Is this a python thing?

Anyone know why that is? Should it be doing this? Using the OSGeo GDAL
1.10.1 build, but it happened with FWTools too (thought it was a FWTools
bug at the time).

Tested on Windows 7 and Server 2008.

Cheers,
Jonathan
