JP_scriptOffloader v3.0

-------- NEW IN v3.0 --------

* Backdrop-based enhanced format: Merge the tool's functionalities with the flexibility and organization a backdrop can offer, allowing for uninterrupted workflow as you seamlessly manage nodes without toggling between DAG and group contents.

* Version Control: Keep a comprehensive log with each save point of an Offloader, tracking every node created, destroyed or modified.

* Refined functions and callback mechanism to lighten Nuke's processing load.

* Backward compatibility: This version is compatible with the group-based Offloader, with the option to upgrade them to the current backdrop-centered format (although deletion failsafe features are no longer available for group Offloaders).

-------- NEW IN v2.2 --------

* Added Feature: 'Create .ZIP' to create a .zip file with copies of the Offloader and all the files it uses, for easy sharing.

* Modified Feature: Added Menu access via 'JP Tools'

* Optimized 'Copy' functions, reducing processing time (provided the pyperclip module is installed; otherwise the previous method of copying is executed).

* Optimized code syntax and performance.

-------- NEW IN v2.1 --------

* Massive improvement in response time when reloading an Offloader from scratch (from 30-40s depending on size of script reloaded, to 1-2s regardless of script size).

*Compatibility issues with Python 2.7 fixed (Reload from scratch, copy filename and filepath available on all versions).

JP_scriptOffloader allows you to save, clear, and reload specific parts of your script, significantly reducing processing time and making Nuke run faster.

* Deletion Failsafe: Any time you attempt to clear the Offloader contents or delete it while having unsaved changed, the tool will let you know in order to always keep your saved scripts updated.

* Reloading from thin air: You can recall any previously saved version of an Offloader even if the node was deleted.

* Export via .zip file or folder: Save a copy of the Offloader's .nk file and all files it uses.

* Multiple access: Aside from the Hotkeys Ctrl+J and Ctrl+Shift+J, you can access the tools's features via the menus JP Tools > Script Offloader. You can modify the menu.py as you please to have this access options available or not.
