Thanks a lot Bart and you too Till! I had some troubles with the wildcards (*.tif) since the gdaltindex binary from gdal.org doesn't seem to support them - although it says so in the manual. I googled a bit and found fwtools which have gdaltindex implemented as well and here the wildcards work.
But just as I thought I get follow-up problems :) 1) gdaltindex puts out a warning when processing my tiffs: Warning 1:TIFFFetNormalTag:ASCII value for tag "copyright" contains null byte in value; value incorrectly truncated during reading due to implementation limitations But luckily that doesn't seem to influence the result. Still I would like to know what it is trying to tell me and google doesn't know :) 2) when loading the layer it takes at least 20seconds for mapserver to show it. I understand it is because of big amount of data? (50files, all in all 40MB) Is there any way to speed this up? Thank you very much for your help!
