What happened to AEC export / AE compositing file?

jochemdk

Hi, since I updated C4D to the latest version [2023.2.1] this morning a large script of mine stopped working.
Something happened to the way the AEC file is exported. My main concern is that some characters in my naming convention are replaced by underscores.

For example a null exported as "AEC+,;M1" is now called "AEC___M1" when I read the aec as a simple text document.

This is just a simple example, but I've got lots of naming dependencies with an After Effects JSX script...

Can someone please check what happened, I would be very grateful, thx in advance, Jochem

Hi @jochemdk,

The described issue likely originates from the confirmed bug report. You can check it yourself in the Bugslife:

The following list includes all illegal characters that are being replaced: /:*?"<>|!$%&()=`{}[]+-,;.#'~

Let me know, if you have any further questions!
