[Paraview] ParaView v5.2 problems with PLY files with point clouds

[Nenad Vujicic]

Hello everyone,

I found several PLY files which crashed my ParaView based application. I
inspected vtkPLYReader.cxx and found (Ln 128-140) that it doesn't even
support loading PLY files with points.

Example of such PLY file:
https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse558/01sp/software/scanalyze/points.html
Example of software which successfully opens such PLY file: CloudCompare -

Do you maybe have in plan adding support for such PLY files? Has someone
perhaps already implemented such feature and is willing to share it?

Thanks in advance,
Nenad.
