[Qgis-user] Problem merging 30-m SRTM tiles in QGIS 3.24.3 for MacOS 10.14.6

[Fielding, Eric J (US 329A)]

Hi Walter, 

I think the problem was that your iCloud folder or some other directory on the path to the files had a space in the name. Many of the QGIS functions don't work correctly if there is a space in any name any part of the file path.
