Problem summary
Users have found that they cannot add a Colon ' : ' to the Editorial -> Rename Shots prompt window.
One interesting example is within the 'Find and Replace' dropdown, the 'find' knob can be given colons, yet the 'replace' knob cannot:
No Colons ' : ' blocks the use of some TCL statements within the rename shots option.
Customer reported version
nuke.11.3v4
Customer reported platform
10.11
Steps to reproduce
1) Create a new project, add a shot to the timeline
2) Right-click the shot and go to Editorial -> Rename Shots...
3) Switch to the 'Find and Replace' dropdown
4) Attempt to add colons ' : ' to the knobs
Result: Colons cannot be added to the 'replace' which breaks the use of some TCL commands
Expected behaviour
Colons can be used so users can add TCL statements.
Actual behaviour
The colon cannot be used, which breaks the functionality of some TCL statements.
Workaround
Users can use a Python statement to add the expressions within the Script Editor.
Below is a Python snippet which does this: ( Replace the variable within ti.setName() with your variable )
from hiero.core import TrackItemseq = hiero.ui.activeSequence()# Getting selectionte = hiero.ui.getTimelineEditor(seq)selection = te.selection()# Set new name for each selected itemfor ti in selection: # Replace variable with your name change ti.setName('test')
