Hi,

I only managed to force the creation of the .aux.gml file with a workaround.

gdal_translate p4433h.tif test.tif -co profile=baseline

In this case it seems that not even --config GDAL_PAM_ENABLED YES is needed but 
test.tif.aux.xml gets created. Maybe the same PAM file works also for the 
non-baseline versions of that tiff file.

With GeoTIFF, COG, or VRT as output format  --config GDAL_PAM_ENABLED YES does 
not trigger the creation of the PAM file.
I think that storing the same metadata into two distinct places (GeoTIFF tags 
and .aux.xml) is generally speaking a bad idea because sooner or later the two 
versions do not match any more. But I guess that it could be convenient to read 
the plain text aux.xml file from the cloud before touching the main TIFF.

Dear Developers,


I am reaching out to seek advice or potential solutions regarding the creation 
of .aux.xml files for GeoTIFF Or GOG using GDAL. I have attempted using the 
following commands, like so:



os.environ['GDAL_PAM_ENABLED'] = 'YES'

os.environ['GDAL_GEOREF_SOURCES'] = 'WORLDFILE,PAM,INTERNAL'

os.environ['ESRI_XML_PAM'] = 'TRUE'



gdalwarp -overwrite -t_srs EPSG:4326 -r cubic JED240207122504.MAXBERJ  
output.tiff



gdaldem color-relief -alpha output.tiff titan.txt output.colored.tiff



gdal_translate -of COG -co TILING_SCHEME=GoogleMapsCompatible -co COMPRESS=LZW  
output.colored.tiff  output.cog.tiff



gdal_translate -of GTiff -co TILED=YES -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE input.tif 
output.tif --config GDAL_PAM_ENABLED YES



gdalinfo --build
PAM_ENABLED=YES
OGR_ENABLED=YES
GEOS_ENABLED=YES
GEOS_VERSION=3.11.1-CAPI-1.17.1
PROJ_BUILD_VERSION=9.1.1
PROJ_RUNTIME_VERSION=9.1.1
COMPILER=GCC 12.2.0



 gdalinfo --version

GDAL 3.8.4, released 2024/02/08

also tried  gdal-3.6.2



OS is Ubuntu Aarch64





However, this does not result in the creation of an .aux.xml file. Could you 
provide any insights into why the .aux.xml file may not be generated in this 
instance?



Any assistance or suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated.



Best regards,

Shaima A.
