[Nuke-users] Write node - TCL directory navigation question

2012-04-26 Thread Rich Bobo
Hi, Does anyone know how to indicate a relative directory change in TCL? In a Write node, I'd like to designate the directory to write files to that is parallel to the one the script is in. I'm using this typical form to get the current script directory: [file dirname [file tail [value

Howard, Hmm... That just seems to append /../ to the path and doesn't actually perform the change directory command... Unless I'm missing something. Thanks, Rich On Apr 26, 2012, at 9:14 AM, Howard Jones wrote: [file dirname [value root.name]]/../ to be more precise Howard From:

I tried... [file dirname [value root.name]][cd ../Comp] ...and it gives me the error couldn't change working directory to ../Comp: no such file or directory. So, I'm thinking that I have to somehow embed the cd command as part of the original dirname command. It seems that the cd doesn't

You must be missing something or I'm misunderstanding what you want [file dirname  [value root.name]]/../foo/bar.%04d.exr will render up one directory from the script - then into 'foo' with img seq' bar' which is what I understand you want to do at least it does here.   Howard

Howard, Thanks. Maybe it does render to the correct place when actually processing a render. I was only looking at what it evaluated to and it was just showing me the /../ in the path and not the actual evaluated path - where it was going to go. Nathan's suggestion of adding another enclosing

Yes - I've used that as well, the only problem is it becomes less clear when you need to go up several directories for example, which is why I use this method (for proxy generation in this case). But as you say it will not evaluate in the file path (though does show you correctly in the browser
