yes - managed to de-tangle some of the setup stuff and removed the update (it was in 2 separate menu.py files).

Interesting...

without doing an "all plugins update", using the tab key does not show the 'invisible' nodes.

It also is not showing Camera2, only Camera... which begs a different question - is "Camera" a new node and "Camera2" the old node? Are they the same? There are a few others I wonder about too.

There's a lot of stuff under "all plugins update"!

never bothered with using X since it doesn't give a dropdown and you need to know what to type (as tcl) - polling a few artists here, none even knew about it.


thanks

I never see obsolete modes until i 'update' plugins. It must be your code.

that would be hit 'tab' instead of X i think?

In any case, most of the time people here seem to reach for the tab key and type a few letters to get the node, so we see Camera and Camera2, for instance ("which one do I use?"). Our custom nodes are versioned the same way: CustomNode, CustomNode_1 or whatever. I want to completely prevent them from using CustomNode, but the tab key shows both when they start typing for the node they are looking for.

We do have the "all plugins update" code in our startup py files though (I think in several places).  I'll see if removing it lets some of the nodes stay invisible.

Hi JRAB - you should be able to place the gizmo in your Nuke path and
just not make any calls to it or add it to the toolbar.

This will let legacy scripts use it but it won't show up in the
interface otherwise. (unless you hit X and type the name explicitly or
do an "all plugins" update)

Be careful of auto-scripts and pipeline tools that add stuff to the
toolbar dynamically if the gizmo is placed in certain paths - pretty
much everywhere I've worked has had that set up which means you'll
have to find a home outside of that system for something like this.

Hello -

is there any good way to make obsolete nodes invisible? Sure, not adding it
to the menus hides it a bit, but you can still find it with a tab. We can't
remove them or it will break old scripts.

thanks
