ID 329780 - Frame Server - rendered frames will have the same creation date as the Nuke script

Follow

Problem summary
When rendering with the Frame Server, there is a bug where the rendered frames will have the same created date as the original Nuke script.

This appears to happen when a Nuke file is opened, and immediately rendered.  (No changes to the scene)

If something is edited in the project, or the project is re-saved, the rendered frames will have the correct time.  

Customer reported version
nuke.11.1v1

Customer reported platform
10.13

Steps to reproduce

1) Create a scene (Checkerboard -> Grade -> Write)

2) Setup the Write node's render location.

3) Save the project and close Nuke.

4) Wait a few minutes.

5) Re-Open Nuke.

6) Render the Write node with the Frame Server active

Result:  The rendered images will have the same creation date as the Nuke script 

Workaround
Any changes in the Nuke scene will reset the timer to the correct time.

For example:

  1. Attach a Grain node
  2. Delete the Grain node
  3. Render

Disabling a node and re-enabling it will fix the render time.
