XSI Pass subfolders created twice

Deadline
1

Hi folks,

When you submit a scene with passes containing subFolders in the output string, they get created twice.

example:
Scene Folder: rootFolder\renderFolder\
PassFilename: [Pass]\FramesName

pass Resolved path is:
rootFolder\renderFolder\PassName\FramesName.0001.sgi

Deadline force xsibatch with scene folder ouput override (-output_dir) with the pass resolved path:
-output_dir rootFolder\renderFolder\PassName\

the result is:

rootFolder\renderFolder\PassName\PassName\FramesName.0001.sgi

Thanks...

Hi Patrick,



This is a known issue, and will be resolved for the Deadline 3.0

release. Currently, we are pulling the output path from the pass

filename. In the future, we will be pulling the output directory from

the scene options (as opposed to the pass options), so the additional

pass folders won’t be duplicated.



Cheers,

Thanks...

Can we have a quick fix (patch) before 3.0?

Just letting you know that we’re looking into this now, and might have

something either later today or next week.

Hi Patrick,



Here is an updated submission script that should eliminate the issue.

Just unzip it and replace the XSIToDeadlineFunctions.vbs in

[YourDeadlineRepository]\submission\XSI.



If there any issues feel free to let us know.



Cheers,

David Bertouille
