Title: Signature
Thanks. That was it.

Just checked with some folks here and indeed, scenes were renamed outside of Softimage. For shame! I have reprimanded them with much reprimanding. Cranial samples to follow.

Most likely because someone copied a scene and renamed in in windows/explorer - we had the same thing here, never happened before then suddenly on this show, point caches are being written into funny named folders - which works by querying the scene name and path to write!!  Found animators had copied a scene which was working to another one, then renamed it!

Subject: Scene file name incorrectly displayed?

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?
