Hi folks,

I still try to finish my texturereplacementscript which works pretty nice on the R12 with a little exception.

Here is the tricky part of what I have so far:

if shd.GetType() == c4d.Xbitmap:
      print "old----------->", shd[c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME]
      file = os.path.basename(shd[c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME])
      print "File--------->", File
      shd[c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME] = path + os.sep + file
  print "New Path---->", shd[c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME]

As said it works nicely, if the filenames are "normal" means that there are no mutated vowels (umlaut) or other non-ascii-conform characters in the filename.

If so( filename: 9Tür.jpg e.g.)  the console shows me something like that:

old-----------> C:\sg\Test\9Tür.jpg
File ---> u00FCr.jpg
New path ---> T:\python est\9Tür.jpg

If I could only trust the print statement ...

In C4D the replaced path is : T:\python est\u00FCr.jpg

The problem is that the last "" (which determines the end of a directory path) is not the one it should be.
The last "" is in front of the non-ascii character : "\u00FCr.jpg"
That is the reason why I can't use split path for that.

I also tried newpath.encode("UTF-8")

but without any noticable effect.

Can anyone give me a hint how to deal with that please?
