Hey guys,

I'm trying to save the ACTIVE scene, not a copy of it with the following code:

  
  
_<_t_>_
    
    
            doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()  
      
          if doc.GetDocumentPath() == "":  
              filePath = doc.GetDocumentPath()  
              if c4d.documents.SaveDocument(doc, doc.GetDocumentName(), saveflags = c4d.SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_SAVEAS, format = c4d.FORMAT_C4DEXPORT) == False:  
                  print "File not saved"  
                  Message = c4d.BaseContainer()  
                  Message.SetString(0, "blabla")  
                  result = gui.ShowPopupDialog(cd = None, bc = Message, x=700, y=700)  
                  print result  
                  return True  
      
           ...  
           ...  
           ...  
    
<_<_t_>_

It saves the document allright, but it saves a copy of it, not the actual file i'm working on. For example, If i save it in the "Save As..." Popup as PluginTest.c4d, it's being saved as that, but the file i'm working on is still called untitled 1.c4d, and if I execute the plugin again,
doc.GetDocumentPath() == ""
still returns true, hence it was not really saved.

Does anyone know what to do about it?

Thanks in advance

Aurel

I'm not a big fan of using CallCommands because the built-in undos are such a hassle to deal with.
But in this case. I think it's something you can probably get away with using.

  
  c4d.CallCommand(12098)      #Saves the active document

BaseDocument.GetName() will always be an empty string for unsaved documents. most os
do not like empty strings as file names.
