Excellent. Thanks Ean. Works great.

Hey Mark,
There are a few ways to do this. Here's the first way that comes to
mind: just create a hidden text knob in your group called something
like 'light_node_cache' with a value of 'my_light_node'. This will be
your node name's cache; you'll need to set its value to the new node
name each time the user changes it. Then you can do something like:
cached_n_name = n['light_node_cache'].value()
L = nuke.toNode(cached_n_name)
L.setName(new)
L_name = L.name() # get the node's name in case there were any
collisions
n['light_node_cache'].setValue(L_name)
# If there were collisions...
if L_name != new:
n['lightName'].setValue(L_name)
Again, not in front of nuke so I may have made typos, but that should
get you going!
Cheers,
Ean

Thanks Ean!
That works, once. The problem being that after 'my_light_node' has
been renamed, the toNode('my_light_node') is no longer valid, and
fails if you try to rename the node a second time.

...or even better, use the setName method which I believe helps
you avoid naming conflicts:
nuke.toNode('my_light_node').setName(new)
Hope all's well with you, btw!

Hey Mark,
If the light node's named 'my_light_node', you would do
something like:
nuke.toNode('my_light_node')['name'].setValue(new)
Not in front of Nuke at the moment, but that should work
(once you change focus away from the lightName knob, probably).
Cheers,
Ean

Hi,
I have a Group which contains some Light nodes. The Group
has a text entry knob.
When the user enters text into that knob, I want the
Light node inside the group to be renamed using the
entered text.
How do I do that?
Thanks!
