Nuke submitter: mechanism to deactivate sticky settings?

Deadline
1

Hi there!

I’m using the Deadline 7 Nuke submitter (Deadline 7.2.1.10) here with Nuke 8 and 9 on Windows 7. For our workflow, the sticky settings functionality (saving sticky settings inside the Nuke script) is not helpful and creates more problems than it would be of use. So I’d really like to deactivate the creation of the ‘deadline’ knobs completely.

What would be the best way to do that, so I keep the necessary effort as low as possible every time an Deadline update comes out? There is no global switch to deactivate the ‘sticky settings’ functionality, right? Maybe that would be a good idea for future updates!?

At the moment I’m thinking about just commenting out the two ‘root.addKnob()’ calls in the ‘buildKnob’ function definition. But I’m not sure if this would cause any other problems.

Thanks, Abraham

Hello,

I am told that the easiest way to do it would be to just add a return statement in WriteStickySettings so that it exits the parts yuo don’t want. Since the knobs are the second half of that and a text file with sticky settings are in the first part so if you want that, then part of it will stick around.
