custom plugin option not appearing

I’ve added something like this to the nuke.options, but its not appearing unless its defined in the plugin info file:

[SC_Localize]
Type=boolean
Label=Localize
Category=Rendering Options
Description=If true, the slaves will localize before every task. If false, they will not.
Required=true
DisableIfBlank=false
Default=true

Strange. I just copied and pasted those exact lines into our Nuke.options file and it worked fine…

Can you post your Nuke.options file?

Attached.

Edit: apparently the .options attachment isnt allowed… renamed it to .txt
Nuke.txt (2.31 KB)

Thanks! The lines in this file are different than what you originally posted. This is what’s currently in the file:

[SC_Localize]
Type=boolean
Label=Localize
Category=Scanline
Description=If true, the slaves will localize before every task. If false, they will not.
Required=true
DisableIfBlank=false
CategoryOrder=1

Since it’s required, it needs to have the “Default” property (the appropriate error message shows up in the Console panel in the Monitor):

[SC_Localize]
Type=boolean
Label=Localize
Category=Scanline
Description=If true, the slaves will localize before every task. If false, they will not.
Required=true
DisableIfBlank=false
CategoryOrder=1
Default=true

After adding the “Default” property, it worked for me.
