(Fixed, Fixed) [HOU-1679] [HOU-1741] expression in filename with vdbs

[LeoYfver]

having expression seems to work on alembics but not on vdbs: example below with the first being the expression and the second the evaluated expression

path/to/file.`ch(../../parm)`.vdb

path/to/file.1001.vdb

path/to/file.`ch(../../parm)`.abc

path/to/file.1001.abc

Yup, we have it logged already - I'll ping the dev team.

As a side note - if you're loading with a File SOP, setting the mode to packed disk primitive and using a Wrangle to modify the instrinsic unexpandedfilename will give you the expected behavior.

Cheers!

Hey, Alexis,

the problem you reported should be fixed now. For the sake of transparency - the other one, HOU-1679, is related to the volumes getting baked when using a channels reference for the entire path, e.g. `chs('path/to/output/rop/diskpath')` - this has also been fixed.

Hope that helps!

good to know! and thanks
