Description
IDRISI supports five kinds of data type: byte, integer (signed 16-bit), real (float 32-bit), rgb24 (when 3 bands and byte type), and rgb8 (discarded). If imported dataset has a data type that is not in the list, conversion procedure is ceased. The revised IDRISI driver allows data type conversion between compatible data types when it works in non-strict mode. User is reminded to try again with Create( ) by selecting a single band after conversion fails with CreateCopy( ), and a warning will be issued to remind potential data loss.
This bug has been fixed. Codes are attached within ticket#4980.
