Hi Eric Gooch,

It temporarily changes the name, but it should go back to the name it got before the export happen. Was the file saved?

I used R20 of course, CV-Export version 1.22 from 2018-11-05.

If you can repeat this after a restart and saving the file, would you mind to share the scene-file, I will check it in the morning.

Cheers

Hi Erich Gooch,

As long as I leave the Preference Settings “Selected Only” unchecked, all works as it should, and I can use the Single Object option of the plugin with no problem. The exported files will be named as directed and the original file’s name is untouched.
I will, however, move your post to the Toolbox forum where it belongs, this thread was more about installation.

All the best

Thanks!

On further investigation, it seems to have something to do with the fact that R20 now has a built-in option to export only the selected object in the scene.
And as you know, CV-Smart Export also has an option to export only what is selected.

If I have the Selected Only option unchecked in the settings for CV-Export, it will rename my scene file when it exports.
But if I check the Selected Only box in CV-Export settings, it then exports nothing!
(That is when the built-in FBX export preference in C4D is set to export only what is selected. “Selection Only”.)

I’ve only tested this with the FBX format.
I’m using the latest version of CV-Export.
