In the submit window for nuke the output directory does not exist, is it possible to add it as a feature request, like the maya submission, or its not doable.
Nuke and Maya function totally differently with regards to building (or not building) image output paths, so a single “output directory” is not really a valid concept in Nuke.
Depending on the submission process (via monitor or via in-app), the Nuke script would have to be crawled for the correctly, enabled and valid output directories, so they can all be added to the Deadline Monitor RC job menu.
It’s all possible, but would take some time to code up.
True; however, since you really don’t gain anything over directly editing your nodes, I would say this isn’t really something that should be included in the bundled Nuke submission script.
Apologies. I mis-read the original post. I assumed the user was asking for the “Explore Directory” feature to be available post submission.
However, this is not what was asked for!

OK, to make it clear
What i was asking was if there is a possibility to add an output directory for the images that are being rendered(to chose in which folder i want my images being rendered placed), regardless of what’s inside nuke.
You could theoretically do this, but it would be so far out of line with Nuke’s output paradigm as to be useless in the majority of use cases.
Just consider a script containing multiple Write nodes, all of which are writing into their own (separate) directory trees. Would you still want all of the Write nodes dumping into a single directory?
Indeed. what happens when the individual write nodes which are the same file name are written over the top of one another into the same directory…?
