    Hey guys I got a quick question.
    I set my NUKE_PATH to a shared folder in my network, however I have a gizmo that references images that sit in the same path folder. In the gizmo how can I set the read node for those images to use NUKE_PATH instead of the actual server destination?
    IE:
    my NUKE_PATH is set to K:/
    The image file is K:/image.tga
    How can I set the read node in the gizmo to something like NUKE_PATH/image.tga so that if one day I change the nuke path the gizmo will work?

    Thanks

    You can use link in linux/mac :
    ln -s source target
    you can create virtual local directory which point to network directory.
    googling about how the command works. Linux/mac only, for winblow, i have no experience.

    cheers

    Thanks yes I am using windows, and I can mount a virtual directory, however what I'm trying to do is slightly different, I'm trying to read a file relative to the NUKE_PATH so that if I change that NUKE_PATH the file in the gizmo will still be found... not sure if that's clear. I'm basically looking for a command to call the NUKE_PATH in a read node.
