<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I am attempting to use the GDAL tools plugin (a core plugin) to generate a raster from a vector.
It should be Raster -> Rasterize
When I want to select a file to save the output into, I'm getting confused.
Following SOP, I press the select button, browse to the right place and type my filename in.
But the button that is normally named "save" stays greyed out.
Now, the button that is normally "save" says "open" which seems odd.
Am I going about this right?
If I am, can anyone confirm this?

I forgot to say:
1.7 on linux r 15655M
using GDAL tool 1.2.25
Ok, and I'm going to have a stab at answering my own question.
On my linux box QGIS is compiled against 1.6.3, which means gdal_rasterize can't make it's own rasters. Hence, open not save.

Not dumb at all. Others have stumbled over the same problem.<br>

Is my linux install a bit backward?

<br>
Yes, although 1.7 is really only a "bit" backward.<br>

<br>
That kind of complexity comes with any multi-platform application
like QGIS. I think the devs and packagers have done an amazing job
of keeping all three platforms more or less in line.<br>
