CloudCompare CLI select attribute columns

Not sure if I am missing something here..

Trying to use the CLI to open a point cloud, do some noise filtering and subsampling, generate normals then save it.
The point cloud input is a .pts file in XYZsRGB format, however I cant seem to find the option of selecting this through the CLI... it seems to default to XYZRGBs.

tl;dr is there a way to input column attributes via the CLI to XYZsRGB (then also export a pts as XYZsRGBNxNyNz)

Ah no, that's one limitation of the command line sadly...

ahh oh well, slightly frustrating. I guess I'll open each point cloud, save it in another format and then carry out the CLI after that.

Thanks for your help, +1 to add a -FORMAT command so you can do things like -FORMAT XYZSRGB for ascii point clouds!
