o-help doesn't catch gdal16 or gdal17 commands

Description (last modified by maphew) (diff)

o-help.bat from pkg-shell is unaware of the gdal16 or gdal17 packages, or any other package under ./apps which might add directories to path. Consequently o-help is not as helpful as it could be.

It would be relatively straight forward to add IF..EXIST tests for apps/gdal16. Perhaps a more generalized algorithm could be devised to automatically search anything in %path% under %osgeo4w_root% without too much work?

grr, that should be [pkg-shell]. irksome that one can't edit the opening post in a ticket.

I've decided this isn't worth pursuing. I've not thought of a way of reliably chasing down which other o4w dirs in path are worth tripping through and listing commands of. Calling o-help is slow enough as it is already on initial load without adding more dirs to process. Also the gdal-XX-version are not mainstream anyway.
