I need the Texturename (and path) from the colorchannel in a material.

Following the examples I found here, thats my code:

  
BaseMaterial* mat = P406Exporter.doc->GetFirstMaterial();  
BaseChannel* pChannel = mat->GetChannel(CHANNEL_COLOR);  
if (pChannel)  
{       
// Extract full image file path  
Filename suggestedFolder = pChannel->GetData().GetFilename(BASECHANNEL_SUGGESTEDFOLDER);  
String map = pChannel->GetData().GetString(BASECHANNEL_TEXTURE);  
Filename fullpath = suggestedFolder + Filename(map);       
}

But the filename is always empty.

  
GenerateTexturePath(P406Exporter.doc->GetDocumentPath(), Filename(pChannel->GetData().GetString(BASECHANNEL_TEXTURE)), Filename(), &path;) ;

This one returns an empty filename too.

I had no problems accessing other values in the different channels, but this seems to be stored different than the other values.
I find it a little confusing how the values are stored and I somehow never now how to access them (getParameter, getContainer, getData, getDataInstance)

Any suggestions are welcome

This is how you get the complete path including the name of the file for your texture. bc is the BaseContainer of the BaseChannel.

Filename path = bc.GetFilename(BASECHANNEL_SUGGESTEDFOLDER);
if(!path.Content()) path = doc->GetDocumentPath();
Filename file = bc.GetString(BASECHANNEL_TEXTURE);
path = path+file;
GePrint(path.GetString());

hope this helps

cheers,
Matthias
