Ean, Another great suggestion. I have that working now. That makes a lot more sense, anyway, since if the user deletes the original Write node, I can check for that - and, if the hidden knob is not there, I can create it again on the new Write node and get the node's values for my panel again.
...Learned some more today. Any day that I can learn some more Nuke Python is a good day! 8^) Thanks again -- Rich On Nov 13, 2013, at 5:52 PM, Ean Carr <m...@eancarr.com> wrote: > I'm not totally clear on what you're trying to do, but rather than the root > node, why not add a hidden knob on the magic Write node which an onScriptLoad > callback function looks for? -E > > > On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 9:32 PM, Richard Bobo <richb...@mac.com> wrote: > Ean, > > OK - following up on your suggestion, I have gotten some ideas from our > in-house programmer.
