Well if Maxon would admit its a bug I would be happy, just plain not saying anything is a drag.

I can't confirm this bug. I used the following code in a menu plugin: (In the example you have written newname instead of newName. I also had to fill in obj myself.)

    
    
    MyMenuPlugin::Execute(doc)  
    {  
      var obj = doc->FindObject("Cube");   
      var objName = obj->GetName();   
      var newName = "test_name";   
      obj->SetName(newName + objName);  
      GeEventAdd(ACTIVE_OBJECT_CHANGED);  
    }

There are no new objects created afaics. Where is the code run in your plugin? Could you post a little more code? (Preferably to the point where its a complete but scaled down plugin still showing the error.)

Thanks Michael for your reply, is it okay if I post you the code? If yes, where to?

Hi Mikael, could you confirm the bug? I sent you a code snippet last week.

Sorry, I will have a look at it as soon as possible.

Hmm, I did run the code now by adding the missing parts to make it a complete function:

    
    
      
    ...  
      
    GetGlobalRotation(obj);  
    SetGlobalRotation(obj, rot);  
    GetGlobalPosition(obj);  
    SetGlobalPosition(obj, pos);
    
    
    
    
    ...
    
    
    
    
    // register plugin in menu  
    class MyMenuPlugin : MenuPlugin  
    {  
     public:  
      MyMenuPlugin();
    
    
    
    
      GetID();  
      GetName();  
      GetHelp();  
      Execute(doc);  
    }
    
    
    
    
    MyMenuPlugin::MyMenuPlugin() { super(); }  
    MyMenuPlugin::GetID()        { return 13215235; }  
    MyMenuPlugin::GetName()      { return "Hello World"; }  
    MyMenuPlugin::GetHelp()      { return "Demonstrates a simple modal dialog";  
    }
    
    
    
    
    MyMenuPlugin::Execute(doc)  
    {  
     mirrorEditOrigBone(doc->GetFirstObject());  
    }
    
    
    
    
      
    main()  
    {  
    prefixOrigBone = "bar";  
    prefixMirrorBone = "foo";  
     Register(MyMenuPlugin);  
    }

Then I added a bone to the scene and ran the plugin. As expected I get two new bones, one named "fooBone" and one named "barBone". Do you get more than two bones if you do that? That sounds really weird. I tried both in 9.013 and 9.101, but unless I can duplicate the bug there's not much I can do. Does the bug show up if you do a small expression that renames stuff as well?

Thanks for looking into my problem Mike, yes, the problem arises only when I rename the bones, this happens in 8.2, 9.0 and 9.1. I use a recursive function to traverse the hierachy, in the loop, I create and name bones, this works well if i dont rename the bones. I I do, I get the renamed bones, the clones and the original bones in addition.

I still haven't been able to reproduce it. My bones rename just fine with the code you sent. Sorry that this has taken so long, but unless I can duplicate the behaviour I can't find out what's wrong.
Just to be absolutely eliminate all sources of confusion, could you send a specific scene and the whole plugin to the support account? (Please remove as much code as possible, while making sure that the error still occurs on your side.)
