I see, thank you for the answer. Cheers, Ogers.

Hi Ferdinand, thanks for the confirmation and looking into it. While it's a bit unfortunate, I do not consider this a major road block. From my side this thread can be considered close. Cheers

Hi, @Boony2000 you are right, the documentation will be fixed. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi, Thank you so much for your suggestion. I changed my code to iterate each surface. It works very well. Thank you for your help, which solved my problem. [image: 1623154713798-6ecf2fc3-56cc-4834-9632-0b815d3a5f39-image.png] Thanks, Manuel

Hi! Thanks for your input! I just found the cause. There is an os.kill call on the C4DPL_ENDPROGRAM message. If you leave it out some python stuff seems to keep running and preventing Cinema from being opened again. I am assuming that's why the original author did that. I will just catch the dirty flag myself and deal with unsaved scenes before terminating the process. Unless you know a more elegant way. I will mark this as solved. Thanks again. P.S.: This is off topic, but trying to reply I would always get an error and I had to log out and in again to post this. EDIT: I found the elegant solution - Adding c4d.documents.CloseAllDocuments() before the process termination handles the save dialogs perfectly!

Hello Paula, of course, I understand these restrictions, but on the other hand it is in this case hard to just guess the problem. Feel free to reopen this subject at any time. Cheers, Ferdinand

Hi, It looks like the problem got solved by Sized function. Thanks a lot @m_magalhaes and @m_adam !!

Seems the only solution here is to register an own mode.

This is for my own plugin. I was looking for a flag that I could set. Totally forgot about just checking for the parameter being set. Great solution. Thanks.

Dear community, this bug has been fixed and will be integrated with an upcoming release of Cinema 4D S24 (hopefully the next one). Cheers, Ferdinand

@Cairyn @ferdinand Thanks for the response. Printing the base container with their indexes worked in my use case

Thanks for your answer, it solved my problem. Thank, AiMiDi
