[mapserver-users] image catalog shapefile generation

[Ed McNierney]

Kev -

You should be able to get gdaltindex to do this.  For (a), it won't
recurse subdirectories but you can run it multiple times and it'll
append the output each time; you can create a batch file or command line
to do the directory recursion.  For (b), I haven't tried it but GDAL has
ECW support (Windows only) that's not part of the standard build.  If
you download GDAL 1.1.5 and build it, you can modify it to include the
ECW driver and then I think gdaltindex will do what you need.

Subject: [mapserver-users] image catalog shapefile generation


Hello--

I'm trying to create an image catalog (aka raster catalog, aka tile
index) 
from a set of images.  I'm hoping to find an image catalog generator
which 
will:

a) recurse subdirectories (i.e. include images located in directories
below 
the working directory)
b) support the ECW file format, as many of our images are ECWs
c) preferably take the form of a shapefile rather than a DBF.

I've tried gdaltindex.exe, which does c), but not a) and b).  Any 
suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
