Hi all,

i developed a serie of python scripts which manage node(s) comment and add “documentation to comment” functionality.

When learning Houdini it may be hard to undestand the flow of nodes and to take a sneak peak on the purpose of a single node: a user has to select right click on node -> help and wait for Houdini internal browser to load the help page.

These scripts simplify this operations letting user automatically/manually populate node comment with proper text.

RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON MENU VOICES ON NODE:

1. Use help as comment: populate node/selected nodes comment with online documentation headline
   
2. Use help as comment for children: populate node/selected nodes and its/theri children notes comment with online documentation headline
   
3. Display node comment: make node/selected nodes comment visible
   
4. Hide node comment: hides node/selected nodes comment
   
5. Remove node comment: removes node/selected nodes comment
   
6. Display children comments: make children nodes of node/selected nodes comment visible
   
7. Hide children comments: hides children nodes of node/selected nodes comment
   
8. Remove children comments: removes children nodes of node/selected nodes comment
   

NOTES:

• Scripts work when selecting a single node and with multiple nodes
  
• Some nodes don't have headline or the whole documentation file.
  
• Script should work on every OS due to OS path separator code, if fails fix/report please.
  
• Scripts are separated for studying and modifying.
  

TESTED VERSION/S: HOUDINI 16.0/16.5
