Hey Jan!
Annoying one for sure. Specially since the older Merge node did have the
expected behaviour.
This has bitten me a few times, and while you could obviously write your own
workaround gizmo/plugin, I find the easiest approach is to set up a couple
of shortcuts for 'Stencil' and 'Mask' that use the Merge node class instead
of Merge2
your_menu_item.addCommand("Merge/Merges/Stencil", "nuke.createNode('Merge',
'operation stencil')", icon = "MergeOut.png")
your_menu_item.addCommand("Merge/Merges/Mask", "nuke.createNode('Merge',
'operation mask')", icon = "MergeIn.png")
Hope that helps. But it might be worth giving The Foundry a nudge too.
