Just new names, I know how to create new objects:

  
var newObj = new(objType);  
  
// insert into document  
doc->InsertObject(newObj, NULL, NULL);

I´m just wondering why the code in my previous post creates new objects in the active doc.

try this:
var obj;
var objCont = obj->GetContainer();
var objName = obj->GetName();
var newName = "test_name";
obj->SetName(newname + objName);
newObj->Remove();
doc->InsertObject(newObj, NULL, NULL);

Thanks wegfressen, but you dont seem to understand what I´m getting at. I am not creating any new objects, I am renaming objects that are alreading in the scene.

Anybody? Could someone at least confirm this, then I know I can give up.

Have you tried changing 'newName' to something else? This might be slipping past the interpreter as 'new Name' or something. The actual code would be useful as well (iow, I suppose that 'var obj' has been set to an object in the Document's Object Manager or one that's about to be placed there).

kuroyume0161, newname is a user set variable, it is retrieved from an edittext box in the GUI, var obj is dynamically set when the code climbs down a hierachy in the present document.

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?

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.)
