If it doesn't find the file to say not found - so you know the script is
running.
When its imported these things can fail silently so you assume they didn't run
whereas they just didn't get their error out.
So if you have a test that must return a value such as
###################
verbose=True
def remAutosave():
autoS = nuke.toNode("preferences")["AutoSaveName"].evaluate()
if verbose:
print (os.path.isfile(autoS))
if os.path.isfile(autoS):
ask = nuke.ask('Autosave file found.\nDelete?')
else:
if verbose:
nuke.message('Nothing found) # if this doesn't pop up something's
wrong when verbose is on
if ask == True:
os.remove(autoS)
###################
I'm not a great coder so someone else can chip in on best practice
