Great, thanks for the info! I'll keep an eye on that RFE, and poke around in the NodeInfoTemplates.

Hello everyone - I have some questions about customizing the menus in Houdini (i.e. http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/basics/config_menus) [sidefx.com]

1) Is there any way to edit or view the built-in functionality that is being called in the xml files? For example, I'm looking to add an extra function to the MPlay window in MainMenuMPlay.xml which will act as a custom save function (save to a directory and then do some other automated magic) but I'm not sure how to build a custom save function, as I don't see any way to access the images in MPlay. The default save button calls ‘mplay.saveseq’, which I believe is black boxed, so I can't see what's happening there. Can I replicate this behavior somehow?

2) Is it possible to modify the node info menu that pops up when you middle mouse over a node? We would like to display some custom information there. I'm aware we could add a comment, but we want the info to be dynamically calculated anytime the middle mouse is clicked, so static values wouldn't be applicable in this situation.

Hopefully those questions made sense. Thanks for any help!
