Hi Samuel,

re:

> formats (like AREA)?

You shouldn't have to do this since your general pqact.conf actions for image
processing are already writing files with descriptive names.

Example from ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf_mcidasB:

# Vis (0.65 um)
UNIWISC ^pnga2area Q. (U[^ACXY13]) (.*) (.*)_IMG (0.65)um (.*) (........) (....)
        PIPE    -close  util/ldmfile.sh
        /data/ldm/mcidas/images/sat/\3/\5/VIS/VIS_\6_\7

The image files in AREA format that are being written to ~ldm/data/mcidas
using the AREA file naming convention are replicated by other actions in
pqact.conf_mcidasB.  The AREAnnnn files are written so that GOES-East/West
compositing can be done by a process run upon receipt of the various
East and West products.


Cheers,

Tom
