Hi guys, thanks for the quick reply

this is what i have:

----code---------------------------------

...ui stuff

 #option menus
prjOptionMenu=cmds.optionMenu("prjOptionMenu",label="Projects:", w=350, h=35,cc=getfiles)

...

def populateProjects():

    #populate option menu with project folders
    projects= os.listdir(projectsDir)
    for project in projects :
        cmds.menuItem(project , parent="prjOptionMenu")

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if i print out the projects list it gives me correct naming. My guess is it has to do with
dynamic populate of the items.

thank you very much for the help
cheers
Ricardo

Confirmed that it works fine for me as well. That sounds like a result of what happens when you try to name maya dag paths with illegal characters and it flops them to underscore or removes them.

    The problem may not be with optionMenu().  The following example
    works fine (for me).

    window = cmds.window()

    cmds.columnLayout()

    cmds.optionMenu( label='Colors', changeCommand=printNewMenuItem )

    cmds.menuItem( label='Yellow.Blue' )

    cmds.menuItem( label='Purple-Orange' )

    cmds.showWindow( window )


    How are you getting the list of folder names?  Can you include a
    short example of what you're doing?

        Hi all.

        I'm trying to dynamically fill an optionMenu with folder names
        in my
        dir, using maya cmds, but it
        seems it doesn't like characters like "." or "-". It always
        changes to
        "_". Is this just me or any of came
        across this issue.

        i tried on linux and mac MAYA 2012 x64 SAP

        i wouldn't bother if i didn't had to query those later and the
        folder
        names don't match ! :(

        best regards
