Hi there,
i wanna automatically rename a null-object with the filename.
Is there a simple way to set this up, maybe in xpresso or python (i never used python bevore)?
I mean something like the token at the renderpath, just for naming an object?
I wanna have a null-object in every c4d-file based on the filename, as a starting hirachie.
That would save me a ton of time.

Hi J.Sek-Design,

In Xpresso, there is no option to my knowledge to get the file name. Of course, you can use a UserData entry on the Null and drag the file into it, then connect this to the Null’s name, but it is an absolute path, and it is not updated.

You need to check in the Python Forum if someone can support your idea there.
