the current filename
hi,
I'm looking for a way to get the filename of my current 3DSMax's scene.
I know I can get it while opening or saving the file using getOpenFileName or getSaveFileName... but actually, this is not exactly what I want.
I need to get the filename of my current file just clicking on a button.
Is there a way to do it or maybe a variable which looks logical to me...
thanx for the help

Hi,
Actually you dont need a webcam to do that job. Just some screen capture software, some C+ connection , some image recognition blabla and thats it! :P
or you can use "maxFileName" command. This may be easier.

Great, thank you for this
Great, thank you for this answer, but actually I knew it of course except I can't ask Max to use the webcam to read the name wrote in the top left corner... lol or do you mean there is a way to script this task I don't know yet (I don't mean using a webcam of course...)
Actually I'm building a script to simplify my task. Basically I have to test collision between element from a lot of files merged. To prepare each file, I need to group object from each files by "lines" to test.
As a member of a group is considered having no collision with any elements of itselft, I need to make each group named differently. To do this as I can't get a variable from one file to another, so I'm using the filename.
So I need maxscript to get the filename automatically.
Thanx for the help
