Re: [Nuke-users] Write node - TCL directory navigation question
I usually place the tcl inside the label of a backdropnode to test the results, in fact I have a toolset with several expressions saved on it:[join [lrange [split [file dirname [knob root.name]] "/"] 0 end-1] "/"] [file dirname [value root.name]] [lindex [split [value root.name] /] end] [lindex [split [lindex [split [value root.name] /] end] .] 0] [file tail [value root.name]] [file rootname [file tail [value root.name]]] [date %Hh%Mm%Ss]I like to append the date one on the filename of the quicktime previews, this way a new preview is always created, instead of overwriting and you can compare versions.Magno.Magno,That's a nice, compact way to disassemble and reassemble pathname components!

into my Write nodes label
[expr { ([clock seconds] -[file mtime [value knob.file]]) /86400 }]d[clock
format [expr { [clock seconds] -[file mtime [value knob.file]] }] -format

Tells me how long ago the node was rendered.

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 root.name]]]
Then, I'd like to do the equivalent of 'cd ../different_dir'. So, I'd
like to have a (hopefully short) chunk of code that would a) grab the
script's current directory, b) navigate up one directory and c) indicate
the parallel directory to write the files to. Should be easy - I just don't
know if it's possible with TCL or if I have to combine some Python in
there...
Thanks for any help!

Re: [Nuke-users] Write node - TCL directory navigation question
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).
