Error when creating smart content

Not sure if CDDS is still being maintained, but I got an error while trying to use it today.



Clicked on Create Manifest. Tab switched to "Create Smart Content Files" and this error message appeared.

I'm seeing this on lots of old content, and it's not always .pz2 files. Sometimes .obj files have the same issue.

If I remove them from the content folder (sometimes there are many in one product), then I can create the DIM and add the files to it manually.

It is a pain when it happens to .obj files though, because all the references get changes to .obz and I have to change them back.

So, it's not just when creating smart content, that's just where I noticed the issue. The problem also happens when creating just the zip.

Here is one of the files that causes this error https://gofile.io/?c=P0oFYG

Sorry I missed this forum. I'll look into it while I work on the other update.

I checked the file you linked and it is basically a dummy file.

Code:

{

version
 {
 number 4.1
 }
 //  This pose does nothing
 //  It is a reminder
 
 {
 }
}

and when CDDS checks it after it has been compressed the file it small than expected and causes an error.

I'm guessing the same thing is happening with the .obj files.
