[Qgis-user] Listing GIS data in subdirectories

[John Zastrow]

Update: A fellow user replied directly to me and suggested the "Load Them
All" plugin. LTA provides the ability to load geodata (raster and
vector) from a directory tree into QGIS with rich filtering ability. It's a
terrific utility that I now love. I also found the built-in tool *Processing
Toolbox/Layer Tools/Export Layer(s) Information*, which creates a tabular
list of layers either loaded in QGIS or also from a directory tree, is
close to my need. They work together reasonably well. However, my first
roadblock is that I need to be able to document Esri File Geodatabases and
the latter tool ignores them even though ogrinfo can read them.

Hope this helps others.
