.nk files not opening in NukeX

[Scozz_vb]

Hey Guys,

Newbie here.

I have created my script in NukeX and saved the file on my OSX desktop. Double clicking the file again to open it opens the .nk in Nuke and not NukeX. As I have a Kronos node in my tree this won’t suffice.

I have set the OSX file ‘Open with’ parameters to NukeX for this file but this does not work and opens nothing upon trying.

When I try to set all .nk files to open with NukeX under the OSX file info panel the system resets the settings back to open with Nuke?

Does anyone know what’s going on here with the .nk files? Surely if a script was created in X it would stay linked to that app?

Hey,
You just have to launch NukeX first, and open the file from within.
It is the same application, but with a different licence for NukeX. No matter how hard you try, the “open with” action will only open the standard version of Nuke. Even the drag and drop on the Dock won’t work, because your NukeX icon is just a way to launch Nuke with a different licence.

Have fun.

I’m not sure about OSX but in Windows 7 you just create a batch file. Just open notepad and type:

“C:Program FilesNuke6.1v1Nuke6.1.exe” –nukex %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7

note:include the quotations.

Then ‘save as’ in C:Program FilesNuke6.1v1 and name it Nuke6.1-X.bat.

Now go to your nuke project you want to open and choose “open with” and select that batch file. It can become your default if you want. Now whenever you double click on a nuke project it launches NukeX!

Sorry if this doesn’t help you in OSX. I figured i’d post this since i was running into the same problem but only in Windows and my search results led me here.

There’s a simpler way.
Note that i’m doing this on Win 7 x64 but should be the same for any windows OS.

First, open the Registry Editor (“regedit”)
Open HKEY_CLASS_ROOT and find NukeScript
Then if you browse NukeScript, you should have DefaultIcon, shell>open>command
Edit the default value.
Mine is : [COLOR=”blue”]”C:Program FilesNuke6.3v4Nuke6.3.exe” “%1″[/COLOR]
just add the following: [COLOR=”blue”]”–nukex”[/COLOR]
You should have : [COLOR=”red”]”C:Program FilesNuke6.3v4Nuke6.3.exe” “–nukex” “%1″[/COLOR]

Hope this help
