import nukeif nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MAJOR==13 and nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MINOR==2: nuke.pluginAddPath('some/path/FileIOv4_132/)
5) Launch Nuke and add a Read node, importing the Alexa 35 clip.
6) Open the Properties bin of the Read node and view the bottom of the bin for the plug-in information.
Expected behavior
The FileIO plug-in should allow Alexa 35 footage to be read in from an alternate directory as needed.
Actual behavior
The Alexa 35 MXF clips are not being accessed by the FileIO plug-in when the files are stored in an different folder than the main .nuke directory.
NOTE: The Alexa 35 ProRes MXF files appear with the alternative directory without issue.
Workaround
Using a wrapper script to launch Nuke with the NUKE_PATH environment variable pointed to the FileIO plug-in directory allows Nuke to view the ARRI Alexa 35 footage with the plug-in. An example wrapper script can be used as follows:
set NUKE_PATH=C:/Temp/FileIO132/"C:\Program Files\Nuke13.2v5\Nuke13.2.exe"
