TextureMesh can generate .ply, but failed generating .obj.

[citystrawman]

Describe the bug
for TextureMesh, I tried both generate .ply as well as .obj, but it can only generate .ply, failed generating .obj.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. the log and command of generating .ply:

Command line: TextureMesh 
--input-file $WorkingFolder\database\model_dense.mvs 
-m $WorkingFolder\database\model_dense_mesh.ply 
--working-folder $WorkingFolder\database\dense 
--output-file $WorkingFolder\model_texture.mvs

2. the log and command of generating .obj:

Command line: TextureMesh 
--export-type obj 
--input-file $WorkingFolder\database\model_dense.mvs 
-m $WorkingFolder\database\model_dense_mesh.obj

12:19:38 [App     ] 	PeakPagefileUsage 194.76MB
12:19:38 [App     ] } ENDINFO

From the log I can see that the error said "invalid OBJ file", I am not sure what is wrong with it.

BTW I am not clear what is the difference between parameter --mesh-file and --output-file

[5VK8Y]

-m/--mesh-file loads a mesh, overwriting existing mesh.
-o/--output-file filename for storing the mesh. Suffix added to archive/mesh file.

@5VK8Y I use this command, but it generate and .ply with the name, for example, I wrote test.obj, the forced output is test.ply.

UPDATE: I happened because I forgot to put "--export-type obj", now works perfectly, thank you!
