[gdal-dev] gdal 3.11 -dsco vs --co

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Your syntax with the "gdal" frontend is correct.  This command is accepted:

gdal vector convert -f MVT --co NAME=foo in.shp out

The reason for the error may be in the commas in the value of the TILING_SCHEME. The same error message can be triggered with 
gdal vector convert -f MVT --co NAME="foo,bar" in.shp out

The uncommon creation option value makes probably confusion due to this mechanism https://gdal.org/en/latest/development/rfc/rfc104_gdal_cli.html#repeated-values-multi-valued-options

The new front-end is announced to be unstable and experimental because of this kind of issues. Thank you for finding out one.

-Jukka Rahkonen-

Aihe: [gdal-dev] gdal 3.11 -dsco vs --co

In the docs at 'latest'https://gdal.org/en/latest/drivers/vector/mvt.html#dataset-creation-optionsit seems like -dsco needs to be --co for the new 'gdal' front-end cli but still -dsco for the the old 'ogr2ogr'. Am I correct or am I overlooking something?I am also getting an error with 'gdal vector pipeline write' when I use:   --co TILING_SCHEME="EPSG:3738,1622000,1284700,686000"ERROR 1: write: Invalid value for argument 'creation-option'. <KEY>=<VALUE> expectedThanks-- Richard W.
