Hello,
I am trying to load a PLY file ( a point cloud with hyperspectral data) that has 288 scalar fields associated with it. When I select the file to open it, the 'PLY File Open' GUI pops up but there is no way to scroll down to the bottom of the GUI to select "Apply All' and load the PLY. I apologize if this is a basic question, but I am stuck. I have tried dragging the GUI up but can only grab on to the top bar, so I can't get that any higher the the top of the screen. I tried changing screen resolution, window zoom - everything I can think off. I will attach an image. Is there a way to open a PLY and Apply all scalar fields without using the GUI? Or is there a way to scroll down through the GUI? I am running CC 2.13.alpha on a Windows machine.
Thanks

Here is the screen shot, if it is easier to view inline.

Ah, that's a use case we never thought about!
I guess the GUI would need to be changed so as to add a scrollbar... Can you maybe share an example file with us? (admin [at] cloudcompare.org)

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for getting back to me.
So I solved the importing problem by simply pressing "ENTER" on my keyboard. I assume that when I did that it accepted all of the scalar fields, in other words it was the same as "Apply All". Yes a scroll bar would do the trick.
I will segment out a bit of the hypercloud and send it to you, right now it is 49GB with all those scalar fields.
I have never posted here, but I have used CC for a while. It is really great and thank you so much for all you do.
Take care,
John
