Hi all

I would like to create ERDAS Imagine compliant overview files for a larger satellite archive (mainly GeoTIFF files) in an automated way. The "gdaladdo" tool has the possibility of defining this with "--config USE_RRD YES". But this writes out not the typical ERDAS *.rrd files but adds the overviews into an *.aux file instead. This is not recognized properly by Erdas or ArcGIS. Just renaming the *.aux file to *.rrd does not fully work since Erdas complains and spits out some error messages (it opens the files after that, though).

Are there any plans to implement the plain *.rrd output and leave the *.aux file for the typical usage of Erdas/ArcGIS for storing other parameters like histograms etc? I guess the format change between the plain *.rrd and the *.aux is very low, proably the aux file adds some additional header lines or something like that.

Best regards

Armin
