personal menu for opening script templates

Posted in: Nuke Plugins & Scripts
Hi!
I have several .nk files that I want to use as templates.
I want to make a python script with my own list menu with a button for every template, so when I push on the desired button a new nuke opens with the selected template.
What’s the best way for doing it into nuke?

Thank you very much!

C.O.R.E shuts down ??

"i don’t want to get into too far details as I am not sure what information is allowed to be released. All I can say is that employees were not escorted out but were asked to take their personal belongings and leave the building after the meeting. Obviously no one immediately left as everyone was saying their good-byes. The information provided on the website is fairly accurate. A meeting was called around 3pm to notify employees of the unfortunate news. As I’ve previously stated, I will not go into details of the reasons but Dalton McGuinty and the Liberal Government played a massive role into the collapse of CORE. It is fact that RBC played a role but let’s just say RBC was the company’s last hope into salvaging the company. Obviously, you know how that turned out.

It is an unfortunate event and I’m very saddened by this. I personally was a contract employee and was a not a full-timer. I express my deepest sympathies for those full-timers and for those who have families to provide for. Can you please keep my ID anonymous as I only wanted to provide facts but not too many details."
