"cannot Save File"

[user_deleted]

I am trying to export the selected objects to a mayabinary file via this command.

QUOTE
file -op "v=0" -typ "mayaBinary" -ch true -shader false -es $exportFile;

Most of the time this works, but now I am getting a simple message that only says "could not save file", in the script editor.
It doesn't tell me anything else.

Error: line 80: Could not save file. //

It is not a permission problem, this happens even if the file doesn't already exist. If it does already exist, I'm asked if I want to overwrite. So I think it's something else.

I am exporting a bunch of transforms with geometry, no history, some display layers attached to them, w/out texture info.

How are you generating the filename and it's filepath? When I'd get an error like that I'd try to do it manually and see what I get and I'd put the filename and path in quotes instead of a variable and then execute it to see what happens. You might be generating an invalid path or filename.

Hey gmask -
I see your point but the filename is valid, because I get this error even when I export the selection manually, via File->Export Selection, and choose a filename there.
Here is one hint, the error goes away if I uncheck everything in the "include these inputs".
I have deleted history, however I'm still exporting history because I want my display layers exported with my objects....
