[Qgis-user] layer with multiple geotiff or jp2?

[Greg Troxel]

I've been sort of looking for how to do this, but not find it.
Apologies if I've failed to read the docs.

I have imagery (from MassGIS) that is stored as .jp2.  Functionally I
think this is the same as geotiff with different compression.  I can
'add layer' on it and that works fine.

I also have DEM tiles as geotiff, with the same partitioning scheme and
datum.


I can make a group, and do add layer on 20 such files.   That works, but
if I want to style it, it's awkward.   Inside qgis, I want to view this
as one layer -- because that's what it is, and the separate jp2 files
are just an artifact of transmission.


I realize I could process them into a big jp2.  I realize I could create
a WMTS from them and run geoserver.  And perhaps put them into
postgresql postgis raster.   But I don't want to do any of those things.
I just want to say

  add layer
    this directory contains a bunch of jp2 and logically they are all
    the same layer.

or something like that.


Is this doable?

Thanks,
Greg
