Hi List,
I am trying to use r.out.bin. I initially tried it from within QGIS and have moved to using a standalone version of GRASS 7.2 on Windows 10 (64 bit). I have tested with a variety of rasters and I consistently get the same error message: "Unable to create file <output_filename>" whether I use default settings or tweak the optional parameters.
Since r.out.bin is apparently based on r.out.ascii, I experimented with that utility and it works well for me with no errors. I can do a 'round-trip' (export to ascii and then re-import from the output file). So, the problem seems to be specific to r.out.bin.
Before I log a bug report, can anybody confirm whether this utility actually works in Windows or offer any pointers as to what I might be doing wrong?
Many thanks
Jon

I tested 7.2 on Windows and it seems to work ok with default settings.
Have you tried to export it to different place? Perhaps problem with
space on device, just guessing...

Thanks. That seemed to work! It was not a space issue though, because there is plenty of space free (over 100GB and my file is not THAT big!). I can only imagine it is some sort of permissions thing but it is not obvious what/why. It still fails when run from QGIS though (an empty file is created here with no error).

Just curious: would r.out.gdal do the job as well? What format do you
need to generate specifically?
