The problem

When opening an ENVI file directly using rasterio, (some) metadata from the header file is available through tags(): python import rasterio src = rasterio.open(file) src.tags() # dict of metadata for the whole array src.tags(1) # same for band 1 Opening the same file through open_rasterio, the metadata is not carried through to the returned DataArray, neither as attributes nor as coordinates (which is the use case I'm interested in, since the metadata usually contains corresponding wavelengths for the bands).

Solutions?

I don't know what kind of data tags() might contain in general. For my use case, parsing the tags for each band as coordinates is necessary at some point. It might be better generally if the tags are stored as an attribute and munged afterwards, but this is complicated by the fact that there's tags for the whole file as well as for separate bands.
