Importing HDF4

[Meek, Allan]

When I try to import an HDF4 image into the OpenEV application, I get
the following error dialog:

Unable to translate <image>.hdf to <image>.tif

where <image> is the image's filename.

Also, the console shows the following error message:

ERROR 1: Unable to export GeoTIFF files with zero bands.

Can anything be done to allow for importing HDF products?

Thanks,
Allan

Allan,

If you open the HDF file using the normal File->Open first, it will ask
you to select a subdataset from the HDF file.  After doing this, if you
select File->*Export* it will be operating on the last opened subdataset
and you can export to GeoTIFF.

If you hit advanced options, turn on overviews, and add TILED=YES in the
Creation Options this should be equivelent to the import operation.

The problem you are running into is that the import dialog does not use
a subdialog for selecting amoung subdatasets as it ought to.

Best regards,
