Search for missing output

Deadline

Hi,

i don´t know if i´m missing something, but why can´t i check cinema 4d jobs with “scan for missing output”.
It works fine for After Effetcs Jobs…but for C4D no CTRL-Y is there.

Best,
André

Hi Andre,

I checked the C4D submission script, and Deadline is only being passed the output directory, and not the actual output file name. Because of this, Deadline is unaware of what file names to look for, which is why the Scan For Missing Output option isn’t available for C4D jobs.

I’ve added a which list item to see if we can add this functionality for C4D in a future release.

Cheers,

We’ve taken a look at the C4D script API, and we haven’t found a way to pull this information out of C4D. We can get the output file name prefix (ie: \path\to\output\filename_, where “filename_” is the prefix), but we can’t figure out how to get the padding and extension. I’ve asked if this is possible on C4D’s plugin cafe forums, so hopefully we’ll know one way or the other soon.

I’ll keep you posted.
