Hi,
yes, I'm talking about metadata in a custom domain. I hacked up a driver
to return additional metadata I want to use; since that metadata is
driver specific I put it into a custom domain named after the driver.
If you guessed MSG driver you'd be correct; but the SVN version doesn't
return any metadata as the moment. I'll eventually send another patch
for adding said metadata, but it'll be a while until I figured out what
data is available and useful.
I've clarified the description and created two tickets per your request:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5541
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5542
Ciao,
Christian

Christian,
I guess you are talking about metadata in domains other than the default and
IMAGE_STRUCTURE metadata domains ?
With which driver did you experiment that issue ?
Would you mind attaching your patch as an attachment to a ticket in Trac (
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/newticket ) ? For that issue, and for your other
email as well.
Best regards,
Even
Hello,
I tried getting a driver to return some useful metadata from the files,
but gdalinfo never displayed any of it. As it turns out, the culprit was
gdalinfo. It will never report metadata from the bands, even if
explicitely requested in the command line.
So I set out to rewrite the metadata handling. It will now use the same
function to display both dataset metadata and band metadata. While I was
at it, I fixed a violation of the DRY-principle, introducing a small
helper function to get a metadata list, loop over it and output everything.
Since there's probably someone out there with a script that parses the
output of gdalinfo, I was careful not to introduce any functional
changes in the output. The only visible difference should be that band
metadata is actually printed.
Patch is attached for review and/or committing.
