Hi all
I just wanted to ask a little advice/help for a tool I have in my menu.py.
I was given this script and I don’t know how to write python so I have no idea
how to modify it, or if it’s even possible.
Here is the situation:
The script allows me to save a snapshot of the current script to the active
write nodes folder. I use it to save a backup of the script along the images I
just rendered.
There are a couple of things I’d like to modify if I could.
1 - at the moment, the copy of the nuke script keeps the original name. Could
it be changed to save it with the name of the images rendered in that folder
2 - If I try to run the “copy script" before rendering, it complains because
sometimes the folder doesn’t exit yet (It would be created at render time) so I
need to save it after the render. Not ideal as I often forget to do it after
the render is done. Could the script be automatically run at render time
instead of having to do it manually?
I was thinking of adding a check box in the write node that would automatically
run the “copy script” each time you press the render button. I would always
keep it on by default.
I hope this make sense.
It’s a very useful tool and I’d love to see it work automatically. It’s a life
saver!
script is attached.
Cheers

#copy nuke script to the active write nodes folders
import shutil
import os.path
def SaveScriptToWriteDir():
script = nuke.root().name()
for n in nuke.allNodes("Write"):
if not n["disable"].value():
dest = os.path.dirname(n["file"].value()) + '/' + os.path.basename(script)
if script != dest:
print "SaveScriptToWriteDir: Saving", script, "to", dest
shutil.copyfile(script, dest)
else:
print "SaveScriptToWriteDir: Cannot copy", script, "to", dest
m = menubar.addMenu("&File")
m.addCommand("Save Script To Active Write Dirs", 'SaveScriptToWriteDir()')
