hi
the rapid way to get this working is like the example code below:
def autoColorReadNodeType(overrideNode=None):
if overrideNode == None:
this = nuke.thisNode()
else:
this = overrideNode
# get the Read node file name
thisFile = this["file"].evaluate()
# catch keyword in the filename path to set custom color
if "/depth/" in thisFile:
nodeColor = 4280356351
elif "/matte/" in thisFile:
nodeColor = 862912511
else:
nodeColor = 0
# set the Read node custom color
this["tile_color"].setValue(nodeColor)
then add this line to your init.py :
nuke.addOnCreate(autoColorReadNodeType, nodeClass = "Read")
Now each time a Read node is created and the one of your keyword
is found in the filename, it get the custom color, or 0 for no color.
let me know if it works for you ;)
