Allow for optional pre-processing of LAS tiles #14

Closed brian-r-calder closed 6 years ago

brian-r-calder commented 6 years ago

Currently, the code assumes that pre-processing has to be done every time the GUI is run (i.e., you can't compute TPUs unless you first run the pre-processing, even if the input files haven't changed, and the pre-processing has already been done). Since the pre-processing can take considerable time, it would be better to make this requirement optional.

So: Add a check-box to the GUI to allow the user to intentionally turn off the requirement for pre-processing, or have the code check for the existence of pre-processed data, and bypass the computation if it exists (assume the user will delete these separately if the pre-processing needs to be done).

I love the check-box idea, but for now I simply added a check for the existence of pre-processed files and an option to skip the pre-processing step. We'll keep related options in mind as the tool develops.

sooo, why haven't i done this yet?
