Description
The tool allows one to create a polygon layer that shows the extent of each raster file referenced in the virtual raster. Each extent is attributed with the original file path, which can be used to load the dataset by 'CTRL + left-click' in the table field.
Note: the tool only supports basic variants of the VRT format.
