This script is a proof of concept, to implement the very handy multi ppg feature from Softimage into Nuke.
 
Run the wbMultiKnobEdit.multiEditExec() function. Then the multi knob edit mode is activated (see red info bar on top of the Nuke UI),
this means all nodes of the same class and when they're selected will get the same value,
when one of the values is changed.
 
 
E.g: You select a couple of read nodes while the multi knob mode is activated, and change the frame value hold from hold to loop,
so all selected nodes will get the same value.
 
You deactive this behavior, when you execute the wbMultiKnobEdit.multiEditExec() function a second time.

INSTALL
 
Copy wbMultiKnobEdit.py to a startup directory. (e.g. for window C:\Users\\.nuke )
add these lines to your menu.py (e.g. for window C:\Users\\.nuke\menu.py ):
 
import wbMultiKnobEdit
menu = nuke.menu('Nuke')
edit_menu = menu.findItem('Edit')
edit_menu.addSeparator( len(edit_menu.items()) )
edit_menu.addCommand('multi knob edit tool', 'wbMultiKnobEdit.multiEditExec()', 'F12')
 
In the example above the script is added to the Edit menu and assigned to F12 as a shortcut.

Hi Jung Keun Kim, I appreciate that you like this little tool. I recently found time to update it, now it also runs under Nuke 11.

This is the most elegant solution to access the same knobs in multiple nodes at the same time. Simply awesome!
Only minor issue I found is when using on a Mac, the red 'MultiEdit' message disappears behind the main window.

Having the same issue with Linux.

I modified line 36 in wbMultiKnbEdit. py. Added the flag "WindowStaysOnTopHint".

From: self.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.Window|QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
To: self.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.Window|QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint|QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)

It works for me on Mac and Linux but haven't tested on Win yet.

Hi Manu, thanks for your fix, I implemented it to the script and tested it on the Windows and Mac side, there it worked and fixed the issue.

Love this tool, Could you update for Nuke13 / python3. Getting a 'wbMultiKnobEdi t' has no attribute 'multiEditExec' that I cant seem to repair. Thankyou

i was getting a Syntax error in Nuke13 for line 90 and 94. I just commented out these lines with # and it works fine.
I'm in Nuke13.0v2 btw, haven't tried in higher versions.
