Hi
Submitting a Houdini job with a Redshift ROP (not exporting to standalone) with a file extension already present in the file path like this:
$HIP/render/$HIPNAME.$OS.$F4.exrwill add another file extension in Job Info Parameters:
OutputFilename0=squash-03.Redshift_ROP1.####.exr.exrThis happens both when using the Deadline ROP and the “Render -> Submit To Deadline” menu
Does not happen with Mantra jobs.
Houdini 16.5.496 / DL 10.0.8.3 / RS 2.6.11

Hmm. I’m told that Houdini has added its own file extension at the end in the past… Is there something that changed recently? I’m wondering if this is an issue within Deadline or one within Houdini.
It might be the redshift rop doing this AS it doesn’t happen with mantra.

The weird thing is that Redshift writes its files with one extension when the job is rendering but the OutputFilename in Job Info Parameters is entered with two. So when you for instance use an image viewer to view the output by double clicking the task, the file is not found because the file on disk has one extension but the filename in the Job Info Parameters has two.

The developers checked it out on Friday and noticed that we are adding the extension even thought it’s already provided.
Are you able to work around it by not specifying the extension in the UI or are you stuck renaming hundereds of output files?
Great! This sounds like an easy fix.
I dont have to do anything actually as we are closed for the summer so nothing happens until 1 august
