A DEM is created from a .asc file OK, but when that DEM has Raster > Analysis > Fill Nodata applied the following error text occurs:

ERROR 6: GDALDriver::Create() ... no create method implemented for this format. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\PROGRA~1\QGIS2~1.18\bin\gdal_fillnodata.py", line 175, in dst_ds.SetGeoTransform( src_ds.GetGeoTransform() ) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'SetGeoTransform'

In addition I noticed Raster Gdal Setting was empty, so I tried it having added C:\Program Files\GDAL but that had no effect. I have attached: 1) the asc file used to create the DEM 2) three screen images 3) error text file

Please test tools from the Processing. GDALTools plugin is deprecated.

I am looking at the Toolbox GDAL Tools. One thing that appears not to be correct but please advise me. The deprecated GDAL plugin allowed merging of asc files when using gdalbuildvrt, but when using the gdalbuildvrt in the toolbox it only allows input of layers, requiring the prior input of asc files as tiff images, but the gdalbuildvrt help screen clearly says can be a list of txt files. Does the input form require the option to input a list of text files like .asc? or is there another way of creating a VRT from several asc files prior to further GDAL processing?

I think there is already a feature request/issue for that. If not please file it.
