maya interactive render loses camera

if I source “DeadlineMayaClient.mel”; in my userSetup.mel the interactive render view (renderWindowPanel.mel) window loses track of the Camera name.

system: OSX 10.9.4, maya2014

steps to reproduce:

step 1
open maya 2014 without sourcing DeadlineMayaClient.mel
create quick test scene… i.e. plane and sphere
press render

notice the line that says “Camera: persp”

step 2

i closed maya and enabled sourcing DeadlineMayaClient.mel
create quick test scene… i.e. plane and sphere
press render

notice the line that says “Camera:” no longer has a camera name next to it

step 3

press the render icon (clapboard) in the render window without doing anything else

resulting error :
// Error: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2014/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/others/getMultiCameraRenderList.mel line 29: No object matches name:

if you choose from the menu in the render window: Render->Render->persp this works because you’re passing the camera name along again.
i tried digging around in the mel scripts and couldn’t see anything conflicting. i tried a global replace of $camera with $deadlineCamera and that didn’t fix the situation.

It looks like this will be fixed in beta 3. I tested the Maya submitter from beta 2 and was able to reproduce, but I could not reproduce with our internal working copy of beta 3.

Cheers,

It has been fixed and if you look http://forums.thinkboxsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=205&t=12225 you will find an updated script which fixed it

sorry i didn’t see the other post. i downloaded and tested the replacement file and that bug is indeed gone. thanks!
