[Qgis-user] adding HDF-EOS (.hdf) rasters?

[Ivan Shmakov]

	I vaguely recall that (in 1.7.0?) when an HDF-EOS (.hdf) file
	was selected while adding a raster, QGIS was to show a dialog to
	select the particular HDF-EOS field (variable) to be added.

	Now, in 1.7.1, QGIS simply states that it can't load the file
	selected.  (Tried on many, including, for instance, [1].)

	Is it a regression, or something else?

	The work-around that seems to work for me is to use
	gdal_translate(1) to prepare the respective GDAL Virtual Raster
	(.vrt), and load the latter instead.

	TIA.
