Hi Daniel

I have a simple question, maybe it was answered before? I couldn't find it.

I'm trying to extract all cloud entities inside an E57 file as single E57 files via the command line, but the file name is just the name of the original file with "_0", "_1" appended to it. Is there a way to extract these cloud entities and name them how they are named internally?

If I open the file on the GUI, select one cloud and click to save, the filename proposed will be the entity name.

Any way to do this with the command line?

Many thanks!

Hi, not with the current implementation. Someone would need to add a new CLI option to control that (the easiest would be to transfer the entity->getName() output to the CLIEntityDesc::basename field).

Thanks for the reply Daniel! At least it will stop me from looking trough the docs one more time ;D

And darn, I wish 'i knew how to code so I could contribute to this fantastic project.

PS: Not that it could be done via the GUI though, right?
