Right, but if you’re switching "contexts" in the middle of a Nuke session, you could be talking about trying to swap out builds of certain plugins, which *will* crash Nuke if they have already been loaded.
I can understand doing this once when a Nuke script is loaded, but I wouldn’t ever consider a Nuke session "reusable"... once you open a script, it’s very difficult to get it back to a "clean" enough state that it could be treated as a fresh process (it used to be impossible, and if you’re trying to swap out any loaded plugins, it’s probably as close as makes no difference). If all you need to do is make some decisions based on the script that’s being loaded, why not just install an onScriptLoad callback, parse the appropriate show/shot out of the incoming path, and pass them to a bootstrap function somewhere to take care of the modifications to the environment, plugin path, etc? No need for any init or menu files or exec-ing. -Nathan From: Jesse Kretschmer Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 4:38 PM To: Nuke Python discussion Subject: Re: [Nuke-python] Late loading of init.py and menu.py for plugins On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 3:08 PM, Nathan Rusch <nathan_ru...@hotmail.com> wrote: I’m a little confused though... are you trying to alter the available plugins in the middle of a Nuke session, after having potentially already used some of them? What is it that would prevent you from making the appropriate plugins available right out of the gate? I'm not trying to remove any plugins or features, but add them. At my studio, we are able to switch project/show context from within nuke. I then want to execute the init.py and menu.py each time the context is switched. My current workaround is functioning, but it feels hackish. I have seen many studios have strict show/shot context that must be set before the application is launched. That would be a great solution, but the expectation for a dynamically set context seems to be paramount and I'm still the new guy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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
