gdal_translate: fails if filename starts with a number

[hamish_nospam@…]

While trying to add GCPs to a TIFF with gdal_translate, if the input filename
starts with a number then the program fails.


$ gdal_translate -gcp 7 4650 123456.0 789012.0 18_R.tif 18_R_geo.tif
Usage: gdal_translate [--help-general]
...
GDAL 1.2.6.0, released 2005/03/13

The following format drivers are configured and support output:
  VRT: Virtual Raster
  GTiff: GeoTIFF
...

$ cp 18_R.tif in.tif
$ gdal_translate -gcp 7 4650 123456.0 789012.0 in.tif in_geo.tif
Input file size is 1309, 4920
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

adding ./ to the input filename fixes it. GCP looking for third dimension?

limit gcp arg search to 4 || 6?

$ gdal_translate -gcp 7 4650 123456.0 789012.0 ./18_R.tif 18_R_geo.tif

better workaround: add something between the filename and the GCPs.

$ gdal_translate -gcp 7 4650 1234.0 7890.0 -co compress=lzw 18_R.tif 18_R_geo.tif
