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.
