Execute code on startup

[lordjim]

Hi there

I'm trying to get nuke to startup with stereo views i.e both left and right.
My code is nuke.root()['setlr'].execute()

I also want to do other commands but I don't know where to paste the code.

Pls help

you would add your script into the menu.py file in the hidden folder '.nuke'

I would not set that as a default setting though, excepte if you always work stereo. and it is very easy to chage the setup in pref anyway
i would do that as a default because all the rotopaint are setting up duplicated, that mean if you have hundred strokes in a paint, it will automatically duplicate them inside the same node (left,right) wich can make you cash a lot if you haven't been careful.
for a paint node i would alway keep 1 view, duplicate it and join them with a join view

up to you to be carful when always set to stereo

The thing is I'm writing plugins for the comp and lighting department of this studio and i need to execute the code from the menu.py file in the C:\Program Files\Nuke6.1v2\plugins folder. Yes our movie is in stereo and we do our best to avoid rotopaints.

When I added nuke.scriptOpen("compsPath.nk")

nuke did this half job load without any of the plugins.

Do you know where nuke tells itself to execute the menu.py in the .nuke folder so i can tell it to execute the script I've made?

All my scripts are centeral on the network and the actual local nuke file's just harbour paths to the scripts so if i need to update a script i can without having to update the local files for everyone on the network.

wow, sorry i missed your question back, you must have find the answer since.

when nuke starts it looks into few default path like .nuke so any file there should be read and you would just need the command to call it in your menu.py

for a specific folder you add the path into init.py (still in .nuke)
something like :
nuke.pluginAppendPath( "/usr/people/oliv/.nuke/PythonScripts/" )

i am not sure it was the answer to your question, some more smarter people than me can give you more help on the foundry python mailling list nuke-python@support.thefoundry.co.uk you can register free on the foundry website.

sorry for the late answer
