Adding HEADER to ASCII files during export

[vojtek]

Hi

Is there an option to include HEADER in ASCII files (pts, etc.) while processing files using Command Line version of CC?
I know I can specify that option in GUI version...

Could not find any info on that neither in manual nor in forum :(

Kind regards
Wojtek

Okay, I've added two new options to the command line mode (after C_EXPORT_FMT):
* 'ADD_HEADER' to add a header with each column's name
* 'ADD_PTS_COUNT' to add the number of points at the beginning of the saved file

You'll find the beta version here:

Hi there,

I'm trying to export a point cloud on the command line:
CloudCompare -C_EXPORT_FMT ASC -PREC 3 -EXT txt -O mycloud.bin -NO_TIMESTAMP -SAVE_CLOUDS

This works, however when I add -ADD_HEADER, CC just hangs.
Was this behaviour reported before?
Using CC 2.6.2 64bit on Win7.

Thanks in advance!

Must be a bug ;)

I'll check this ASAP.

Okay I've fixed the bug (there was an infinite loop!).

The fixed beta version is here: http://www.cloudcompare.org/release

Thanks for the feedback!
