+9good morning fme intusiasts
I need your help.
I have to convert .RGB files to .ECW and unfortunately I have no possibility to install "https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_translate.html" GDAL_Translate, which would save me a lot.
it is about the "Intergraph Raster Reader/Writer" (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-ReadersWriters/ingr/ingr.htm?Highlight=intergraph)
Is there a possibility to use this reader/writer ?
Kind regards Michael

Right click on your .rgb file and pick either Inspect with FME Data Inspector or Transform with FME Workbench.
Quite often the best way of finding out whether something is possible with FME is to just try it. If it works, then it works.
Hi folks
So Intergraph raster format was deprecated in FME in 2022. Here's the thing: it was deprecated in FME because we use the GDAL library and it was deprecated in GDAL. So if this is truly the Intergraph format then I don't know if GDAL will help.
What you could do is use an older FME. You can download older versions here: https://engage.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versions - I expect 2021 would work.
Hope this helps

I tried it, FME Inspector 2023.1 says: SGI reader: `*********.rgb' exists but could not be opened. File contents may be invalid, or the file format may not be supported
SGI reader: Failed to open the dataset '*********1.rgb'. Please ensure source data is valid and correct reader is selected
An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details
Failed to specify the feature index as constraints on the reader

Okay, it looks like there's multiple formats that use the .rgb extension and FME tried to open it with the SGI reader, which is obviously not the right one.
When you get to this point:
Open that Format list and then look for Intergraph raster.
Funny enough my FME install does not have that format... @mark2atsafe is it an extra-cost plugin or something like that?

thanks for your help. but i think the FME Intergraph Reader/Writer is not anymore included in fme 2023.1 - i found the information for the reader/write[Intergraph] for the fme version 2017.0 😶 and if i would find a fme 2017.0 version setup - i cant use it because of the licensing of the current version. :D

FME2010x86
[,2013,2014,2015.2015beta,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020,2021,2022 and FME2023] in x86 and x64 all setups that i used in this time.

If the format is indeed deprecated but you still have an older installer you can try that instead. Do keep in mind that Safe's support doesn't go further back than 3 years
