GDAL sidecar file not generated via `newhall_batch(file = "...")` #12

Investigate why we have differences in writeRaster() v.s. file argument to newhall_batch().

Apparently the sidecar file with category information is not created when the latter is used, which will lead GIS software to misinterpret categories as numeric.

More generally, the .tif.aux.xml is commonly overwritten by GIS software. Why?

brownag commented 10 months ago

For consistent styling, should consider providing standard .qml (QGIS) and .lyr (ArcGIS) symbology files for the various outputs.

This might also benefit from an easy option to make single-layer TIFF files from the standard multiband output.
