it does indeed - try this:

def populateProjects():

    #populate option menu with project folders
    projects= os.listdir(projectsDir)
    for project in projects :
        cmds.menuItem(label=project , parent="prjOptionMenu")

    Hi guys, thanks for the quick reply

    this is what i have:

    ----code---------------------------------

    ...ui stuff

     #option menus
prjOptionMenu=cmds.optionMenu("prjOptionMenu",label="Projects:",
    w=350, h=35,cc=getfiles)

    ...

    def populateProjects():

        #populate option menu with project folders
        projects= os.listdir(projectsDir)
        for project in projects :
            cmds.menuItem(project , parent="prjOptionMenu")

    
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    if i print out the projects list it gives me correct naming. My
    guess is it has to do with
    dynamic populate of the items.

    thank you very much for the help
    cheers
    Ricardo

    Confirmed that it works fine for me as well. That sounds like a
    result of what happens when you try to name maya dag paths with
    illegal characters and it flops them to underscore or removes them.

        The problem may not be with optionMenu().  The following
        example works fine (for me).

        window = cmds.window()

        cmds.columnLayout()

        cmds.optionMenu( label='Colors', changeCommand=printNewMenuItem )

        cmds.menuItem( label='Yellow.Blue' )

        cmds.menuItem( label='Purple-Orange' )

        cmds.showWindow( window )


        How are you getting the list of folder names?  Can you
        include a short example of what you're doing?

            Hi all.

            I'm trying to dynamically fill an optionMenu with folder
            names in my
            dir, using maya cmds, but it
            seems it doesn't like characters like "." or "-". It
            always changes to
            "_". Is this just me or any of came
            across this issue.

            i tried on linux and mac MAYA 2012 x64 SAP

            i wouldn't bother if i didn't had to query those later
            and the folder
            names don't match ! :(

            best regards
