Chances are the scene file was renamed outside of Softimage. The official name of the scene is stored inside the scene file just above the scene root. You can view it by opening a scene explorer and pressing 'A' to set focus to the 'application' level and look for the icon of RGB colored primitives. Every time you save a scene, this node's name is updated to match the filename.
If you rename the scene file outside the software (such as in a windows file browser), the scene node will not be updated. Next time you open that renamed scene file inside of softimage, softimage will reference the old name shown at the scene level, not the filename. Long story short - don't rename scene files outside of softimage.

Some of our scene files are returning a different string than what is displayed in the either the file system or the SI window. For example, we have a scene file named '001_02SMB_lipsync_v011.scn.' It shows this name in the file system (in this case Windows Explorer, and in the SI browser). But when we run "Save As..." the string defaults to reflect a previous scene state '001_02SMB_anim_v011.scn'. So I opened up my script editor and printed the active scene name (Application.ActiveProject2.ActiveScene.Name) for my scene entitled '001_02SMB_lipsync_v011.scn'. Sure enough, it returned '001_02SMB_anim_v011.scn'. If I run 'Save As' and manually rename it to what it should be, then any subsequent queries to the active scene name are correct, return an expected result, and our Save Incremental tool works fine. But for that initial 'Save As', it defaults to the string name of a previous state. Any idea what's going on? -- Tim Crowson Lead CG Artist [cid:[email protected]] Magnetic Dreams Animation Studio, Inc. 2525 Lebanon Pike, Building C.
