OK, here's an interesting problem... Well, it's "interesting" in the sense that I can't figure out how to solve it!! (8^\
---- When I add a custom PythonPanel to the Pane menu, create it as a tab, save the Nuke script and recall it - the panel does not appear!
---- The thing that is causing it to *not* appear is assigning an initial value to the knob. If I don't assign an initial value, the panel appears in the tab, as expected. This happens with more than one type of knob, by the way. It seems to be a general problem...
---- For debugging purposes, I am making a simple PythonPanel and adding a String_Knob to it. If I comment out the last .setValue line, the tabbed panel saves and restores with the Nuke script without a problem. If I assign a default value, it doesn't.
---- Here's the test class:
import nuke
import nukescripts
class testpanel( nukescripts.PythonPanel ):
def __init__(self):
nukescripts.PythonPanel.__init__(self, 'View Selector', 'com.richbobo.testpanel')
self.partStartsWith_knob = nuke.String_Knob('startswith', 'View Name - Starts With :')
self.addKnob(self.partStartsWith_knob)
self.partStartsWith_knob.setValue('foobar')
---- Here's what I have in my menu.py:
import test_panel
def addtestpanel():
global testpanel
testpanel = test_panel.testpanel()
testpanel.addToPane()
return testpanel
nuke.menu('Pane').addCommand( 'testpanel', addtestpanel )
nukescripts.registerPanel( 'com.richbobo.testpanel', addtestpanel )
--- Note that there are no errors reported when the panel does not appear.
It seems that assigning initial values to the knobs of a registered panels somehow interrupts the mechanism that causes the panel to show. How do I make sure to insert initial values in the knobs - without causing the registered PythonPanel to not show?!?
Thanks for any help,
