gdaltindex raster files (MapInfo gif + tab format)

[Zhonghai Wang]

Hi guys,

I've found a way to do that, like this:

c:\.....rasterdata>dir /b /s tem\*.gif > index.txt
c:\.....rasterdata>gdaltindex index.shp --optfile index.txt

and this works well.

but georeferencing information in the TAB file can not be found by the
command, an error message is something like:

>>>no georeferencing info is available, gdaltindex performance will be
skipped.

actually there is georeferencing info in the TAB file, for each small gif
image there is a corresponding TAB, e.g.:
***
!table
!version 300
!charset WindowsLatin1

Definition Table
  File "m_1_1_1000.gif"
  Type "RASTER"
  (5.290517,48.2308475) (1392,987) Label "Pt 1",
  (5.25001439194036,48.25) (0,0) Label "Pt 2",
  (5.25001439194036,48.211695) (0,1974) Label "Pt 3",
  (5.33101960805964,48.25) (2784,0) Label "Pt 4",
  (5.33101960805964,48.211695) (2784,1974) Label "Pt 5"
  CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 104
  Units "degree"
***

why can it not be read by gdal?

thanks a lot
