Create one-click menu bar items with python

[daveatpressac]

Hello, in newer Nuke, when you click on a menu bar item,
you get a menu; in older version, you typically create a node.
Does anyone know how to create an old fashioned one-click
menu bar item with python?  Personally I find it handy to put
a bunch of often used nodes on a menu bar.  Thanks.

hiya,
It is explained in the doc a lot better than i could explain

i am not sure to rember the command for the head line menu, here an exemple with a toolbar menu (to put in a menu.py) :

mytools=nuke.toolbar('Nodes')
mytools.addMenu("MyMenu", icon="me.xpm")
mytools.addCommand("MyMenu/Reordering", "reordering_1v1.main()")

This method still creates one single menu item, (in this
example is "Reordering") when you click on the icon.

I was wonder if it is possible to just click on the icon, and
you get a node in the node graph.

Okey, I have the answer; a colleague at software developing dept figured this out:

toolbar = nuke.toolbar("MyToolBar")
toolbar.addCommand("Node1", "nuke.createNode('Bezier')", icon="...png")

well... it is pretty much the same no ? my reordering exemple was calling a script that is creating a couple of nodes with set up parameters.
your exemple show more a need for some custom shortcuts you coude setup for accessing your favorite nodes
Also, be careful with the bezier node, they have put it aside because it may be unsuported soon in futur release so it may become uncompatible at some point.
