[Gvsig_english] Auto-cataloging of image files

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Ernesto,

Thanks for the reply. I did eventually get this option to work. The only 
problem I encountered was that the latest download of the gdaltindex.exe 
available on the Internet did not accept wildcards or see ECW files. 
That said however, I was able to find a suitable version and the people 
at OsGeo are fixing the problem with the downloadable EXE.

Cheers Simon
