Hi Devs,
I’m contributing to the FUSION/LDV plugin and I have a couple of newbie 
questions related to the I/O parameters in Python.


1. SELECT MULTIPLE INPUTS
I’m not a Pythonist (I can read it and only make copy-paste-wise 
modifications). Unfortunately, there's one thing I don't understand of the 
logic related to the input of multiple files: there should be the way to create 
a .txt file with a list in case more than one is selected...but I haven't been 
able to make it work. You can find an example in xyz2dtm :



self.addParameter(QgsProcessingParameterMultipleLayers(self.INPUT,

                                                       self.tr('XYZ files'),

                                                       QgsProcessing.TypeFile))

and then calling:

fileList = fusionUtils.layersToFile('xyzDataFiles.txt', self, parameters, 
self.INPUT, context)



arguments.append(fileList)



When trying this with other files (.las, .laz), the txt file is created but it 
remains empty. This could be quite a big thing for users instead of working on 
mega files or file-by-file, but I have no idea ho to deal with it.


2. GENERAL OUTPUT NAME WITHOUT EXTENSION
There are some tools (e.g. TreeSeg) that require just a general “file name” 
that will be applied to many different outputs.
If I set just a simple name (e.g. "test_output") it doesn’t run the algo and 
returns an error such as “invalid name”.
In order to “fix” this, the user has to enter any kind of extension (i.e. 
"test_output.csv" and FUSION will strip it out using the basename for all the 
exports it provides.


Any suggestion or best practice about dealing with such cases?

Thanks in advance as usual,

Nic
