gdaltindex & subdirectories

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Jeroen,

you can do this with for loops in DOS or on Linux.

On DOS something like:
for /R %i in (d:\myfiles\rasters\*.tif) do gdaltindex tile.shp %i

On Linux
for file in `ls *.tif`; do gdaltindex my.shp $file; done:

ls *.tif you would have to replace with a proper find commando to search recursively for tiff files.

This does not influence Mapserver, assuming your index will be generated once and then used (no runtime index).

Best regards,
Bart

Hi,
I wanted to know if gdaltindex supports a "scanning" of a directory  
tree while building the index file? I haven't managed to get that to  
work yet.
The next question than is if MapServer would be able to support such  
an index?
Thanks,
Jeroen
