outputfilename not using corresponding outputdirectory

It seems that if you have multiple different output directories, the output filename is not associated with it properly in case of multi-frame tasks.

Say, you have 20 renderelements, all going to unique folders. All 20 unique folders are properly added as OutputDirectory# entries, and their individual filenames (excluding the path) is added as OutputFilename# entries.

However, deadline seems to be looking for the files all under OutputDirectory0, instead of 1,2,3,5,10 etc, matching the filename’s index to its directory. It fails in 2 cases:
[]doubleclicking on a task
[
]using the View Output option on the Job panel

The outputs i have:

The filenames:

I have all the files in the appropriate subfolders.

However, when i try to go to view them through the task list using the doubleclick viewer option, i get this:

When NOT using the doubleclick option, but instead using the View Output option on the Task, it finds the images properly.
When using the View Output option on the Job, it also fails.

Would you be able to export this job (from the job’s right-click menu) and post it or email it to me privately? We can then use it here to make sure this stuff is working properly.

Thanks!

Got it. Thanks!

Thanks! We got this fixed.

The problem with the task double-click one was that it was trying to show all the output paths, not just the ones for the first output path in the right-click menu. It should have just been showing the first output path, similar to how double-clicking on tasks that have only 1 frame just opens the first image.

The job right-click option has been fixed too.

Cheers,
