Hello again,
I have a problem with loading a file. I use c4d.documents.LoadFile() to load a File into the Editor. The Problem is that all Texturelinks are gone as the Document does not have a Location. Also When I want to save the File a dialog opens where to save.
What I want is basically the same behavior as the Usual Load-File function of C4D when I press ctrl+O.
Is there a solution?

Hi Holger,
unfortunately I can not reproduce your problem.
For me LoadFile() works as expected and just the way, you'd like it to behave.
So you will probably need to provide me with more details. C4D version, operating system, maybe also a complete code line showing the invocation of LoadFile().

Hi Andreas,
Here is the Code I am using. I found some snippet on the web to get the last modfied File in a Folder and load that. When it load all the TexturePaths are gone and I have to save the document
import c4d, os, glob, time, operator
from c4d import gui
from c4d import documents
def get_oldest_file(files, _invert=False) :
gt = operator.lt if _invert else operator.gt
# Check for empty list.
if not files:
return None
# Raw epoch distance.
now = time.time()
# Select first as arbitrary sentinel file, storing name and age.
oldest = files[0], now - os.path.getctime(files[0])
# Iterate over all remaining files.
for f in files[1:]:
age = now - os.path.getctime(f)
if gt(age, oldest[1]) :
# Set new oldest.
oldest = f, age
# Return just the name of oldest file.
return oldest[0]
def get_youngest_file(files) :
return get_oldest_file(files, _invert=True)
def main() :
FilePath="/Users/holgerbiebrach/Aktuelle Projekte/1502_TS_burnedoutcar/c4d/BurnedCar_LODs_001.c4d"
FileDir=os.path.dirname(FilePath)
os.chdir(FileDir)
files = glob.glob('*.c4d')
c4d.documents.LoadFile(get_youngest_file(files))
c4d.EventAdd()
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
c4d.EventAdd()

Try using LoadDocument() instead of LoadFile() :
_<_dt id="c4d.s.load" style="line-height: 16.5px; : rgb251, 234, 174;"_>_c4d.documents.LoadDocument(name, loadflags[, thread])[](file:///C:/Users/Tangerine/Desktop/Python%20Docs%20R14/help/modules/c4d.documents/index.html?highlight=documents#c4d.documents.LoadDocument)
Similar to [LoadFile()](file:///C:/Users/Tangerine/Desktop/Python%20Docs%20R14/help/modules/c4d.documents/index.html?highlight=documents#c4d.documents.LoadFile) but this time the document isn't put into the editors list of documents and you have control over the document.

Here's roughly how i've used it:
file = documents.LoadDocument(filePath, c4d.SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS | c4d.SCENEFILTER_MATERIALS | c4d.SCENEFILTER_MERGESCENE)
documents.InsertBaseDocument(file)
doc = documents.GetActiveDocument()

Hi Holger,
the problem arises from changing the directory to the project directory and then loading the document without any path.
Change your main function like this:
def main() :
FilePath="/Users/holgerbiebrach/Aktuelle Projekte/1502_TS_burnedoutcar/c4d/BurnedCar_LODs_001.c4d"
FileDir=os.path.dirname(FilePath)
os.chdir(FileDir)
files = glob.glob('*.c4d')
foundFile = get_youngest_file(files)
foundFull = FileDir + "/" + foundFile # re-add the full path
c4d.documents.LoadFile(foundFull)
c4d.EventAdd()

Hey Andreas, Thanks a lot. That is working now. The Problem I am facing now is that this is not OS independed as because of "/".
How could I make this work on OSX and Windows?
