This is a longstanding annoyance stemming from how and when the Camera2 node
loads and caches available node names. Basically, you need to make sure the
node's control panel is shown at some point after setting the file knob, or
the list of available values won't be updated. Also, in order to avoid the
annoying pop-up confirmation dialog when replacing animation from a file,
you need to make sure the `file` and `read_from_file` knobs are all set out
of the gate:
cam = nuke.createNode('Camera2', 'file {/path/to/some/file.abc}
read_from_file True')
cam.hideControlPanel()
# Values list will be up to date here
You can also use nuke.nodes.Camera2 if you prefer, but you then need to show
the panel yourself using nuke.show() or cam.showControlPanel()

Subject: [Nuke-python] Loading ABC data in Camera nodes
I'm running a tool that creates Camera2 nodes and sets the node to read an
alembic file. I believe the reading the alembic data is happening after the
script has run so it's not possible for me to set the fbx_node_name knob
since the shapes have not been populated in that knob. Is there a way to
force the node to load the camera data so I can set the fbx_node_name knob?
cheers,
Brandon L. Harris
