Re: [Nuke-users] caching and localising preferences

2011-10-26 Thread Peter Crossley
Hi Jean-Luc, Nuke does stat both the local and original versions of the files before loading, so if the non-local version is updated Nuke *should* load that one. If you see different behaviour, then that's a bug, so you should probably send a report to support. However, if Nuke does detect

Hi Peter Thanks for the update. That helps. I just tested the theory and it works fine. I localized a Read node from a test render then rendered it again. The orange bar on the Read node disappeared after viewing the new render. The interesting thing was that the thumbnail got updated with the

Ok got it! I thought the localising process was automatic... I didn't realise you had to manually make it cache... So what happens when the files are marked always and you're finished with your shot. Do you have to manually un-cache the files too? There's no size limit on the localise folder so I

yes, I guess it's a good idea to manually remove the cache files when done. Don't think there is a mechanism built in for that (which would be a nice option though to keep your disk tidy) On Oct 25, 2011, at 12:45 PM, jean-luc wrote: Ok got it! I thought the localising process was
