    Hi,

    Whenever I launch Cinema4D 11.5 from a command line (to render a frame without any GUI, typically) then, in my plugin, GetActiveDocument() always returns a pointer to an empty document (named "Untitled 1"), and there is no way to get the document which has actually been loaded (the document created from the scene indicated in the command line options)

    Even GetFirstDocument returns the same, empty, document, with no children documents when i call GetNext() on it.

    I could work around this by using the document passed to the InitRender callback, but it is problematic in my case, because there are some important information in the file which i need to link to my own objects just after the loading of the scene.

    Is it a bug in the SDK, or is it normal that GetActiveDocument had this particular behavior in command line mode?

    Thanks,
    Ben
