Sharing Custom Tags

Custom tags can be shared between artists by saving them in a project in a shared network location. Shared tags are loaded at startup and appear in the Tags tab, below the standard tags that ship with Nuke Studio.

1.

Create the required custom tags as described in Creating Custom Tags.

2.

Save the .hrox project in a folder called Templates in a shared network location. For example:

/SharedDisk/NukeStudio/Templates/SharedTags.hrox

Note:  If your custom tags use custom icons, save the icon files in the same directory as the .hrox project.

3.

Create a Python file containing the following lines, to direct Nuke Studio to the shared location:

import hiero.core

hiero.core.addPluginPath("/SharedDisk/NukeStudio")

4.

Save the .py file in the ~/.nuke/Python/Startup/ directory on all the machines running Nuke Studio that require access to the tags.

Note:  You may need to create the .nuke/Python/Startup/ path manually.

The location of the .nuke directory differs by platform. See Loading Gizmos, NDK Plug-ins, and Python and Tcl Scripts for more information.

5.

Launch Nuke Studio and navigate to Window > Tags or switch to a workspace that contains the Tags tab.

The custom tags are listed under the project name below the standard tags that ship with Nuke Studio.
