connect v1.0

the principle idea is based on a tutorial from FXPHD taught by Hugo Léveillé.

this script allows you to  extend ie. your plate by adding a postage stamp and hide the input. it stores connections to certain nodes and rebuild those at any place of your script via a shortcut or a menu entry. 
the menu items are added dynamically on creation and rebuild on start up via a callback.
connect will create Postage Stamps which have also two buttons. one to jump to the source node and another to open the source nodes properties

you can set up connect per request. the menu isn't build by default. after setting up connect, a new menu will be added. in this one you can store your selected nodes. each time a node is added to connect, a new entry is added as well. for the first 9 entries there will be a shortcut asigned: 'alt+1-9'.

there is an option to reset all your setup and start from scratch. 

the stored selection is saved within the script. after closing and re-opening the menu will be recreted based on your stored notes.

for adding the setup menu:

nuke.menu('Nuke').addMenu('yourCustomMenu').addCommand('setup connect', 'connect.setup()', 'f2')
