Issue with `-sds` naming convention in gdal_translate

Question

I'm converting ~100 .hdf files to .tiff using gdal and getting some unfortunate naming conventions when using -sds

for %A in ("...\*.hdf") do gdal_translate -of GTiff -sds "%A" "%A.tiff"

However, it appears that it is first converting the files and then separating the subdatasets, therefore giving me file names like .tiff1, .tiff2, etc (completely useless).

Any suggestions on how to fix this within the same piece of code or with a simple second step?

Answer 1

Found a way to figure this one out in powershell. Using the following code, I was able to just add .tiff on to the end of my files and can rename them later to preserve the naming conventions that I'm interested in.

Set-Location -Path (path)

dir | % { mv $_.FullName ( $_.Name + “.tiff” ) }

Hope this helps others.
