[Geoserver-users] Multipage Tif files

Hey

The problem is that I have a great number of tif files covering a
geographical area, as singlepage tif files. But it's very time
consuming/boring to insert them all in the geoserver (it's about 300 tif
files). Further retreiving them will also be some what difficult.

I tried to find a program that can merge them into one single page tif file,
but could only find programs which merge to multipage tif files.

So I was wondering if the Geoserver is able to use multipage tif files?
Or if anybody knows a clever way of simplyfying the process, this could fx
some kind of scripting.

No, I don't think we do support multipage tiffs, but you can mosaic
all of the files and then load them as a single mosaic.
See this tutorial: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Using+the+ImageMosaic+plugin
