batch processing is stopping

[MeshTester]

Hi,

I try to make a mass conversion batch (windows 7 64bit).
The batch mode is awaiting some (?) input at the stage of loading the point cloud.
I use the following command line (%CCompare% = Path to CloaudCompare, CINS000.asc is an example file):
%CCompare% -SILENT -C_EXPORT_FMT PLY -PLY_EXPORT_FMT BINARY_LE -o -SKIP 2 -GLOBAL_SHIFT AUTO CINS000.asc -NO_TIMESTAMP -SAVE_CLOUDS -CLEAR

The result is:
v 2.81: The "Open Ascii File" dialog is shown and a second small dialog (see attachment) is shown and CC stops. I can close the small dialog and press Apply button and the batch proceeds.
How do I prevent stopping?

Do you reproduce this with the 2.9.beta? Otherwise I'll have to check that ;)

The result is:
v 2.9 beta: The "Open Ascii File" dialog is shown and CC stops. I can press Apply button and the batch proceeds.

How do I prevent stopping?

Ok, I updated the command line mechanism so that the progress bar doesn't appear anymore when the SILENT mode is enabled (you can update the 2.9 beta version - just be sure to take the non-stereo version).

However the ASCII I/O filter may still open a dialog if it's unsure about the file format (in which case it will need a confirmation from the user). What is the typical organization of the files you are trying to load?

Our standard asc files look like this (xyz RGB):

# Geomagic Studio

7248.6000061 846.8999863 1540.0999784 191 191 191

Our standard xyz files look the same except for the first two comment lines.

Hum, I just realized that CC will display the dialog whenever there are 6 or more columns in the file and no 'header' line... But I agree it's a bit silly when in SILENT mode as it kills the concept of SILENT mode...

I'll change this asap.

Ok, I updated the online 2.9 beta version. It shouldn't stop anymore when in SILENT mode.
