When I’m troubleshooting or doing dev work on a large script, I tend to just 
start Nuke up with the –n flag to help keep myself sane. Works nicely in a 
pinch if your comps are laid out/labeled cleanly.

Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] exr preview usage?

Yeah, I was hoping to get around the re-calculation of the (read) postage 
stamps by enabling the preview image in the exr, but no dice - they seem to 
work like you said, they get calculated across the board. It's a waste of cpu - 
when a big script opens up, it takes a while to recalc the reads (instead of 
the image!), not to mention again with every frame change. I would have thought 
it was already a feature in nuke from a long time ago, from when systems were a 
lot slower. Maybe reading the previews take just as much resources as 
re-calculating...

  I would imagine that Nuke's postage stamps (if that's what you mean to use 
them for) are calculated from the image that a node produces in the same way 
across the board - so the node requests the image from upstream and applies it 
as the postage stamp. 

  It would be quite nice, though, for Read nodes that are pointing at EXRs (and 
any other format that supports preview images) to be able to read them...

    Hey there -

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get nuke to use the preview images 
that it's possible to embed in an exr? I haven't found it to be the case so 
far. Probably not worth the overhead in embedding them since it's 'cheap' to 
recalculate, but then again, one less thing for nuke to do in interactive 
sessions is a good thing.

    thanks
