I think I have an idea why the GUI isn't working. I noticed in your first post that the LandSAT tif files are named with CAPS in the filename extension, i.e. 171146051_05122001402_B10.TIF. It looks to me that the GUI ignores files name *.TIF and only "sees" *.tif.

You can do a bulk rename of all the files (from the command line...) with
for f in *.TIF; do mv $f `basename $f .TIF`.tif; done

Then open the GUI and check if those files are added to the import list.

Sir,

That was a brilliant observation from your side. Now the feature works. In fact that is how the landsat data files are named, with *.TIF extension. Anyway I can save lot of time now.

Thanks and Regards,

Chethan S.
