Subject: [Nuke-users] Expression for project creation date
Date: Fri, Jul 15, 2016 11:45 AM
import nuke
import datetime
nkfile = nuke.root().name()
ctime = os.stat(nkfile).st_ctime
print str(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ctime))
...which conjoined into a single expression is:
[python
str(__import__("datetime").datetime.fromtimestamp(__import__("os").stat(nuke.root().name()).st_ctime))]
