Hi Paul, It is not clear to me what kind of issue you were reporting. If the Geopod plugin is installed, you need to uninstall it and restart the IDV. The problem is that the Geopod runs under the Java 7 and the IDV is still in the Java 6. By the way, it is a very interesting small project to add the geotiff output. I will think about it.
