Hi folks, Currently running GDAL 1.7.1, I noticed a regression towards the 1.6.x branch which I could not find in the tickets.
Teh GetDescription() always seems to return empty strings, except for just created file and just setted description... Here is a description of the bug, I don't think it is quite the expected result : >>> from osgeo import gdal >>> xT = gdal.GetDriverByName('GTiff').Create('test-desc.tif',10,10,1) >>> xB = xT.GetRasterBand(1) >>> xB.SetDescription('test') >>> xT = None >>> xT2 = gdal.Open('test-desc.tif') >>> xT2.GetRasterBand(1).GetDescription() '' The 1.6.1 returns: 'test' Is it a known bug ? Solved in further versions ?
