Hi there, this file is created when you first open your settings and save by clicking 'Ok'. Otherwise, it should still work without that file within Nuke using the default settings.

Hi. Thanks for this tool. It worked perfectly in nuke 14. But now, in nuke 15... When I select a group of nodes, press ctrl+b, choose my settings and then press "ok". Nothing is happening. The popup window stays open and no backdrop created. Can you check, please? Thx.
