Change Default Save Options

[KeithC123]

I have developed a script for automatically saving multiple point clouds with incremental names. When I go to save as a version 1.4 *.laz file, it sets the point format to one of the presets between 6-10. Those point formats are similar to point formats 1-5, but may be unreadable by other point cloud processing scripts. Is it possible to change the default output point format for the application? Alternatively, is it possible to set the default using the pycc/cccorelib packages for the instance of the script that I am trying to run?

I am currently running CloudCompare v2.13.2, and the output point clouds will later be processed using PDAL.

Thank you.

There have been quite a lot of changes around the LAS/LAZ I/O filter recently. But I don't think there's currently anyway to change the default output format via the command line.

However, you could try to ask Thomas, the main contributor of the new LAS I/O filter, as he is also the creator of the Python runtime: https://github.com/tmontaigu/CloudCompare-PythonRuntime
