Are you using nuke.pluginAddPath or nuke.pluginAppendPath in your init.py? If you’re using the latter, init.py and menu.py scripts in your added location won’t be executed, because the plugin paths are traversed in reverse order.
If you’re not setting NUKE_PATH before launching Nuke at all, the setup is as simple as this: 1) In ~/.nuke/init.py, call `nuke.pluginAddPath('/path/to/custom/directory')` 2) Place your central init.py and menu.py files in '/path/to/custom/directory'. -Nathan From: mailto:nuke-python-re...@thefoundry.co.uk Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2013 4:46 AM To: nuke-python@support.thefoundry.co.uk Subject: [Nuke-python] Re: menu.py not running automatically? Hi Nathan Thank you very much for your reply I am very much in the experimentation al phase with Python atm. I have got everything to work whilst the gizmos are inside my .nuke directory which is fine. I have not set the NUKE_PATH via terminal, what I have done is added the new plugin path inside both my menu and init.py. Nuke obviously knows where this is as all works well when I run the menu.py script manually. What I am guess I could do with knowing is why nuke is not executing the script when it opens? Or am I running down the wrong avenue? Thanks again Simon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Nuke-python mailing list Nuke-python@support.thefoundry.co.uk, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python
