I have a raster in coordinate system EPSG:25833 (ETRS89.UTM-33N).
The coordinate system is saved with name ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_33N in GeoTIFF and Esri Shapefile, but in ECW with name NUTM33. The coordinate systems are the same, only with different name.

I have viewed the properties with Esri ArcGIS. The different coordinate system names are in ArcGIS no porblem, but in the software GeODin Maps.

How to do it to write coordinate system name ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_33N into the ECW file?

Unfortunately the team advises we do not have a way to control the name of the coordinate system being written into the ECW. I've added your story to the issue we're tracking internally here, but I have to come clean and say that we may not be able to do anything about this in the short term unfortunately, and I can't think of an easy workaround either. Sorry.


any news on this ? same problem years later on FME 2019.2 and 2021
