image selection before processing

When collecting pentcam dataset for ortho and mesh reconstruction, it would be nice to be able in the same project to be able to select which type of image you want to use for processing (ortho or mesh). For example True Ortho does not require Oblique imagery if overlap is sufficient, but 3d mesh need it. When you want to get both with possibility to edit ortho, you need to process twice the dataset. but processing 5x times more images for Ortho while it is not needed will just raise the computing time by 5 (and it's already very slow for large dataset). As images are coupled to camera model, it would be nice when starting ortho to be able to select which camera can be used, and other ignored.

    I add the fact that to do so, i currently do 2 different projects. I export Block Exchange format from Metashape twice: once for Nadir and other with Pentcam. At least i do AT only once.
