I'm trying to get the final image render path, like this:

Redshift:
hou.node("/stage/somenode").stage().GetObjectAtPath("/Render/rendersettings.redshift:global:RS_outputFileName").Get()

Karma:
hou.node("/stage/somenode").stage().GetObjectAtPath("/Render/Products/renderproduct.productName").Get()

And as long as there isn't an $F4 in the path (for example, `$HIP/render.exr`), it will work and return an expanded path.
But if there is an $F4 in there(`$HIP/render.$F4.exr`), it returns `None`.

Is this normal? What can I try to make it work? Also, would it be possible to get this path unexpanded?

Tested on 20.0.590 and 20.5.312

You need to set a frame in the Get() because the attribute has time samples. If I remember correct.
