Hi
I import Faro files in CloudCompare without problem but .fls files are not recognized in the command line mode. Is there a function that calls the faro pluggin?
thank you

Indeed, I believe the plugins are not loaded when using CC in command line mode.

I'll try to fix this for the next version!

Merci!
Great work!

Hi !
I'm currently working with fls files but I can't figure out how to open them from the command line. It seems it can't find the fls plugin but I can open them on the graphic interface.
Could you please tell me if I've missed a parameter to include the fls plugin while openning the file or any else ?

Thanks for your work !

Hum, that's weird, there's no good reason for it not to work in command line mode... but I've never tried! Maybe someone else did...

I would simply like to convert .fls files into .las ones.
I've tried `CloudCompare -o myFlsFile.fls -C_EXPORT_FMT LAS` but it can't open them.
If you know any other way to solve my problem, your help will be greatly appreciated :D

(Sorry for responding only today, I thought an email would be sent to me when someone responds)

Best regards,

do you have some log output?

i suppose the issue is with the path to the file.

If i recall correctly CC does not support utf8 chars, so only ascii and you probably need to set full path instead, unless you alread changed your current directory in the command line.

Hi! Thank you for your response :D

I've found the issue!!

When I first opened scan.fls, it was in its directory, scan.fls, but then I renamed the directory without the .fls extension, and only after that did I try to open the file in the command line. So, note to myself, never change a directory name when you're not sure about it ^^

But I'm making sure to use the absolute path to open it ;)

Thank you all for your reactivity :D

Have a good day,

Mathis
