[Qgis-developer] Re: [Qgis-user] Script for displaying many images in QGIS

[Peter Ersts]

If you already have the world files built, then it is just automating 
the load process. The best approach for this would be a simple python 
script. It would only be a couple of lines long ( 
loadDirectoryOfGeoTiffs( aDirectory ) ). Pass in a directory containing 
your geotiffs, load each one. If each image has a "border" you could 
also set the transparency values at the same time.

I can offer to provide an example, but I am quite the python idiot and 
someone who knows python could throw this together in just a  couple of 
minutes.
