Fix Slash Directories Supports

[thedott]

Hey folks, I'd like to fix single vs double slashes in a nodes nav directory. For instance if you work under OSX, but then open your project on the PC, the project's read nodes will error out since it won't understand the single slashes from OSX. I'd like to run a command, that will step through all nodes in your file, recognize the read nodes, and then do a search and replace, so the single slash in the beginning, becomes a double slash. Any suggestions?

If you wanna do a one off fix you can do something like this:

CODE
for r in nuke.allNodes('Read'):
    curPath = r['file'].value()
    r['file'].setValue(curPath.replace('/','//'))

For a workflow fix you can write a filenameFix() function which will be applied to all file paths in Nuke. Something like this in your init.py should do the job automatically:
CODE
def filenameFix(p):
    if os.name == "win32":
        p = p.replace('/', '//')
    else:
        p = p.replace('//', '/')
    return p

I haven't tested the latter though so have a play and see how it behaves (not sure if I'm using the correct os.name for windows)

Ideally, I'd prefer it to run only when called upon. I'd like it to step through all nodes that are in the project, find the reads and change the slashes accordingly. I'll try your first snippet of code. Thanks Frank!
