Int_Knob is most certainly not deprecated. The issue stems from the fact that Python knob wrapper classes are still really disconnected from the functionality of the C++ Knob API, and the "Manage User Knobs" dialog is also limited or just strange in completely different ways. Besides there being a lot of knob types without any sort of higher-level wrapper type in Python, there are also still idiosyncrasies like what you've run into. These types of issues have been around essentially since the first incarnation of Python in Nuke, but it seems no one on the development side has noticed or cared enough to prioritize them.
As far as I know, the only thing you can do it make some more noise with support. I have a ticket from December 2012 about this specific class of issues if you want to mention something really old: Bug 32986 - Knob lookups return improper Python types -Nathan On 11/8/2016 1:34 AM, Colin Alway wrote: > Hi > > Can anyone tell me how to create an Array_Knob which behaves like an > Int_Knob ?
