Creating world files is mentioned here: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1200/creating-world-files-from-georeferenced-rasters.html
As an Aerial Survey company we must produce thousands of tiles of imagery annually with associated worldfiles for hundresds of customers. These customers have a variety of software products with require the support of the 3 character naming convention for worldfiles.
When Writing out a JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) image, and selecting the option to write out a Worldfile, the worldfile extension is hardcoded to ‘.wld‘.
Firstly, would like an option to select and alternative file naming extension for worldfiles. Whether it be 3 characters or 4 characters convention.
The general three-character extension used by industry to conform to the 3 character naming convention uses the first and last character of the raster file's extention, followed by "w" at the end.
FME has adopted this in the GeoTIFF (Geo-referenced Tagged Image File Format) writer this as the ‘.tif’ extension becomes ‘.tfw’
For example, here are a few naming conventions for popular raster formats
Format Filename WorldFile name
ECW mymap.ecw mymap.eww
JPEG 2000 mymap.jp2 mymap.j2w
JPEG mymap.jpg mymap.jgw
Secondly, there is no option to write out Worldfiles for ECW and JPEG2000 formats, would like this added as an option in the writers.
