does anyone know how to retrieve the first and last frame from a read node created through Python?:
r=nuke.createNode(‘Read’)[‘file’].setValue(‘/the/file/folder/filename.%04d.dpx’)
when i do so the frame range is 1 to 1 and i dont want to set it via r[‘first’].setValue() and r[‘last’].setValue because for our project we dont know how many frames will be present in the sequence so i need to retrieve it from the read node. Cheers

d = dict({'t1': 6, 't2': 11})
nuke.createNode('Write','file_type d[t1]',True)
No matter what dict entry i use, the filetype is always set to dpx. What gives?? t1 should translate to 6 which in turn would be .jpg….
Script is attached…enjoy 🙂
Key feature:
"Nuke network rendering"
It is an ability to send to network render several Write-nodes in a single job.
Afanasy gizmo provides Write-nodes dependency description. You can connect Afanasy gizmo to several Writes or to another Afanasy gizmo, this will describe rendering order.
For example we want to render Back, Key, Final(which depends on Back and Key) and Preview(which depends on Final):
This connections network will produce a muiti-block job with needed frame dependency:
Each Preview frame will wait the same Final frame to be rendered. Each Final frame will wait the same Back and Key frames.
This is useful on ‘heavy’ scenes.

What would be the best way to create a gizmo that allows a user to start and stop a timer, to see how long it takes you to get a task done, and maybe log the times for each session. An example is rotoscoping an object in a shot. I am going through the nuke gizmo tutorial videos on their site to see if i can find a method. How would you create a custom gizmo from scratch, or would you make a group into a gizmo and start from there?
Thanks

nuke.ViewerWindow.activeInput()
As far as I understand it, according to the documentation, this "Returns the currently active input of the viewer – i. e. the one with its image in the output window"
Am I missing a bracket or something somewhere?
It seems to be expecting a <ViewerWindow> type as an argument.
The error I usually get is this:
"descriptor ‘activeInput’ of ‘ViewerWindow’ object needs an argument"
I am on Windows using Nuke5.2v1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
