Hey all... I'm wondering if there is a script that will let me color a read node according to where the file came from.

I'm working on a 3D conversion project and the way the pipeline is set up, all the source files (depth, original footage, mattes, etc.) are named identically... sort of like shot_reel.########.dpx. Each of those lie in their own particular folder akin to ../depth/foreground/version/001/shot_reel.########.dpx for example.

The problem is sometimes you can have several read nodes right next to each other and lose track with the only option to be double click on them and see what their source is.

I would like to have the color of the read node set itself automatically depending on what the parent folder is. e.g red for depth, green for original source, etc. I'm sure it can be done in python, but I haven't really learned my scripting yet and this project won't really offer me the time to dig into it.

I'm guessing it'd be a fairly simple script... if path contains depth, color node red else if path contains matte color node blue. Hmm... maybe I can find the time to figure out the syntax. Any tips would be welcome though!

Now to get some sleep... been doing some long days of late.

Thanks in advance for any help!
