choosing Multichannel EXR removes separation '.' between filename and framenumber

choosing Multichannel EXR AND specify -filename
removes separation '.' between filename and framenumber.

Hi,

I've uploaded two scenes see link below.
http://tinuz.uncinc.nl/vray/RRtest_MayaVrayEXR.mb
http://tinuz.uncinc.nl/vray/RRtest_MayaVraymultiEXR.mb
1 is set to EXR the other to multichannel EXR
both have <Scene>/<Scene> as filename prefix

when I DON'T specify the filename in the command line BOTH render fine
when I DO:

/Applications/Autodesk/maya2011/Maya.app/Contents/bin/Render -proj "/Volumes/projects/3D_Testing" -r vray -threads 2 -rd "/Users/Shared/RR_localdata/renderout/projects/_3dRenderfiles/Testing" -im "RRtest_MayaVraymultiEXR/RRtest_MayaVraymultiEXR"  -s 13 -e 13 -b 1  -cam "camera1"      "/Users/Shared/RR_localdata/cachedscenes/Volumes_projects/3D_Testing/RRtest_MayaVraymultiEXR.mb"

the scene set to multichannel outputs the frames as: filename0003.exr instead of filename.0003.exr

I checked this with last official release and vray_adv_150SP1_maya2011_leopard_x64_13942

Hi,

What if you type this instead
-im "RRtest_MayaVraymultiEXR/RRtest_MayaVraymultiEXR.#"

you could do that but the thing is that only multichannel exr behaves differently from all the other image formats and that causes my rendermanager not to find the rendered files.

I asked almost the same question. There is an answer from Vlado here

We ended up changing our deadline submitter to add an extra '.' to the filename prefix when output type was multichannel exr.

ok thanks for the info,

let's see what we can do about our submitter (RoyalRender)
:P
