Commandlien distance compute, both files stay in memory

[PablerasBCN]

Hi.

according to docs:
https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... _line_mode

"CloudCompare -o cloud1.bin -o cloud2.asc -c2c_dist -split_xyz -model HF SPHERE 50.0
CC will load cloud1.bin and cloud2.asc, then compute the distance from cloud1 (compared) relatively to cloud2 (reference) with a height function (quadric) computed on all the neighbors falling in a sphere of radius 50.0 around each point of cloud1. On output a file cloud1_C2C_DIST_YYYY-MM-DD_HHhMM.bin will be generated (with the resulting distances as first scalar field and the 3 components of the corresponding displacement vector along X, Y and Z as additional scalar fields).

Note: this cloud stays in memory and can be processed further (with -FILTER_SF for instance)."

In my experience, it seems like both files are kept in memory, not just the compared one, so the more operations you add you end up with a carpton of output files. I wish only the compared one was left so I could stop the autosave and simply save once I'm done.

That would have to be an option I guess...
