RE: [Qgis-developer] GSoC: GDAL/OGR frontend plugin?

[Lucena, Ivan]

Hi There,

Good discussion and I hope I am not intruding. 

Are you guys talking about a "Export Raster Data" dialog similar to what ArcMap has?

A UI where you can enter create-options, data-type, metadata and output-format? 

That would be nice but it doesn't look like a plugin but rather a internal implementation.

Just a thought.

Regards,

Ivan
