save_current_mesh ignoring save_vertex_normal argument

[MikeImbar]

Hello,

When exporting a mesh using the following line:

ms.save_current_mesh('deci_test.ply', save_vertex_normal = True, save_vertex_color = False, save_vertex_quality = False)

It appears that it ignores the save_vertex_normal argument. The only reason I know that it does, is because I am using 3DHop to display ply files and it requires the meshes to have vertex normals.

When I try to export a mesh that has vertex normals using the same code, it exports one without them as well.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Can't replicate the issue. When saving a ply file with save_vertex_normal = True, I only get ply files with

property double nx
property double ny
property double nz

for vertex element.

Could you please provide a reproducible example?
