[Qgis-user] Georeferencer says "Could not create destination file"

[Andrea Giudiceandrea]

Hi Adrian,
If I understand correctly, you are experiencing two issues:

1) if you try to georeference the provided JPG file with a JGW sidecar 
file, then the the georefence file is not created the error "Transform 
Failed: Could not create destination file" is displayed

I can confirm the issue occurs on Windows running either QGIS 4.0.3 or 
QGIS LTR 3.44.11.

I suggest you to report the issue to https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues 
providing all the requested info, the layer's file and detailed 
step-by-step instruction in order to reproduce the issue

2) if you try to georeference the provided JPG file without the JGW 
sidecar file, then the georeference file is created but it is in your 
opinion not correctly georeferenced

It is not clear to me how to reproduce the issue. I've tried to 
georeference the provided JPG file with various random GCPs and 
georeferencing methods, and it seems to me the JPG file is correctly 
georeferenced depending on the GCPs and georeferencing method used.

Please provide the GCPs file and all the georeferencing parameters and 
settings used in your case and a reproducible way to verify why the 
resulting georeferenced is not correctly georeferenced in your opinion.

Best regards.

Andrea
