ReconstructMesh only produce .ply , no .mvs output

[atdrdeterminant]

Describe the bug I ran the commands following the doc.

I get a scene_dense.mvs file and the corresponding .ply file. However when I run ReconstructMesh scene_dense.mvs I only get a scene_dense_mesh.ply file. but no mvs file which is needed for the refinement and to apply the texture using OpenMVS.

Here is a screen shot of scene_dense_mesh.ply :

The output of the ReconstructMesh command is :

on develop the MVS file only keeps the camera info, all geometry is in external PLY; if the MVS file does not generate, means the last one you used is unchanged and there is no reson to resave it, you can use the same one; also, you do not have to do RefineMesh, only if you want, you can texture it directly

[cdcseacave]

so in order to select the correct PLY file you need to specify it manually, the command should look something like this:

TextureMesh scene.mvs -m scene_mesh.ply
