Hello, VRTs can reference other files by relative paths. Upon reading such a VRT, GDAL will evaluate the relative path based on the directory where the VRT resides. Now, imagine the following situation:
* There's a directory a/ containing several raster files and a VRT referencing them. * There's a second directory b/ containing a symlink to the VRT in a/ . When I point GDAL at b/symlink.vrt, it will dereference the symlink before evaluating the relative paths inside the VRT (and thus search for the rasters in a/), whereas I would've expected GDAL to handle the symlink transparently and search for the rasters in b/ . Is this the intended behaviour? Unfortunately, I can't make much sense of the relevant code in gdal/frmts/vrt/vrtsources.cpp. Regards, Luis Ressel
