Frank, thanks for your reply. As you suggested, I created 3 tickets: - #3587: Set and Get methods missing in Python bindings - #3588: a ticket to keep track of changeset http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/19741 for missing flushes. I suppose it can be considered closed. - #3589: SetDescription method should be overridden in VRTRasterBand Best regards Luca -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/gdal-dev-Modify-virtual-file-attributes-tp5074120p5079527.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
