shptree and tileindex

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

David,

I don't think the sequence matters at all.

I have found in the past that there is a problem with locating the 
quadtree index files if the location attribute contains the .shp 
extension. Use something like filemon to find out for your system and 
please report back to the list.

Best regards,
Bart
