Howdy. Just thought I'd share this snippet of a code with you guys. Enter this into the "onScriptLoad" of the project setting to automatically set the working directory to where the nuke file is located. This probably only works in Windows, so if someone gets working versions for the other OS, that would be great.

os.chdir(nuke.root().name()[0:nuke.root().name().rfind("/")])

That should work fine on any OS.

It can be simplified a bit to:

os.chdir(nuke.root().name().rpartition("/")[0])

Or better:
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(nuke.root().name()))
