AW: [Qgis-user] Error when using MapSheetAutoGeoRef

[Lucas Beck]

Hi Cedric,

thanks a lot. Actually by using gdalinfo I get the correct output. 
However, I think the problem is more my qgis-configuration in general 
and the installation on my mac. I wanted to use for example the 
georeferencer tool but it is neither on my plugin-list nor can I find it 
to install nor activate.
So, I will review my installation in a broader way...

Best
Lucas

In the first case,your raster file(s) aren't 'good enough' and you may try to get them in a form that gdal understands. In the second, the code of the plugin should be changed to understand the text format provided.
