Hi Jukka,

from what I can see in https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/commit/b5128c1ff3ac6ad44b225284f5be1f728840e7b3, this dates back to almost 20 years ago when SetGCPs() was initially implemented. And at that time, PAM didn't exist yet in GDAL :-)

Please create a ticket about (and mention SetGeoTransform() and SetSpatialRef() have the same issue)

Hi,

I tried to add ground control points into a TIFF file with gdal_edit. I do not want to touch the TIFF so I used the read-only option and supposed that gcp would be written into .aux.xml file but that did not happen. Instead I got a message

gdal_edit -ro -gcp 1 1 20 30 test.tif
ERROR 6: test.tif: SetGCPs() is only supported on newly created GeoTIFF files.

Without -ro gdal_edit adds ground control points into the TIFF without errors. What might be the meaning of the message about “newly created GeoTIFF” and is there some way to make gdal_edit to write ground control points into PAM file? I know that I can use gdal_translate and VRT as a workaround but PAM .aux.xml could be a bit better for my whole workflow.
