[Qgis-user] aux.xml files

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi world,

Ok I figured it out. As it turns out, the *aux.xml file is generated 
when the raster band does not contain the statistics data.  I first 
removed all this data using gdal_edit with the "-unsetstats" command.  
Then used the "-stats" command and voilà!!! no more pesky xml files for 
all files!

For some reason, using the -stats command only,  did not do the job as I 
had tried that before writing this email.  I first needed to -unsetstats 
before.

Cheers!

Nicolas
