Hi Mateusz, That seems like a good idea.
But I don't know if I should unify two drivers an put then on frmts/mixed. It will certainly works in the new structure proposed by RFC 46 but it might create some problems for me. What I am most interested is to have two driver (that uses the same data container) sharing a little bit of code. The RFC 46 says "Various data containers can accept both data types" and by that I understand it means "at the same time". The same dataset can contain Vector and Raster. If I understood it correclty, if you use gdalinfo with one of those dataset it will call GDALOpenEx with GDAL_OF_RASTER and if you use ogrinfo with the same dataset it will call GDALOpenEx with GDAL_OF_VECTOR. So nothing new under the sun here, from the user point of view. What is a very good thing. But it might be a case where you would like to develop or unify some drivers and put then into the mixed folder. I don't know. In my case I would like to have a folder structure to keep my two driver under the same folder. Something like that: /frmts/container/ /frmts/container/vector /frmts/container/raster But that idea doesn't help with your concern about a large number of sub-folders under /frmts. What do you think?
