meshroom_batch change Texturing.colorMappingFileType syntax

[Arwa45]

Using the command line tool "meshroom_batch" I am unable to override parameters like the "colorMappingFileType"

To Reproduce
I follow those steps:

1. I open meshroom from cmd and insert the following command: meshroom_batch -i "input file path"
   which works, but outputs the texturing file as "exr", I want it to output it as "png"
2. I try the following cmd: meshroom_batch -i "input file path" --paramOverrides Texturing.colorMappingFileType=png
   which outputs the following error:
   KeyError: 'colorMappingFileType'
   I try the following cmd: meshroom_batch -i "input file path" --paramOverrides Texturing.textureFileType=png
   which outputs the following error:
   KeyError: 'textureFileType'

Error as shown in cmd:

Overrides Texturing.textureFileType=png
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi @Arwa45,

You're almost there! The right command would be:
meshroom_batch -i "input file path" --paramOverrides Texturing.colorMapping.colorMappingFileType="png"

This is because the colorMappingFileType attribute is part of the colorMapping group attribute, so the full reference is needed to override its value. textureFileType is not a valid attribute for the Texturing node, which explains the second error.

Please let me know if that fixes your issue.
