Finding all versions

I realized the other day Nuke’s default Alt + Shift + Up hotkey, which calls nukescripts.version.version_latest() doesn’t actually version up the read node to its latest version. What do I mean by that? If you have

• v001

• v002

• v004

• v006

Alt + Shift + Up will up version the node to v002 and calls it a day. That is because the function sets up a loop of checking if version + 1 exists, if it doesn’t, it stops.

So I tried making a function that find all the available versions without iterating through v + 1. This uses python regex and glob to look through the folder structure instead.

glob will get a list of all the files which matches the original file pattern, and regex will look through all the files and return a list of available versions like so:

[v001, v002, v004, v006]
