Hi All.

I have a simple question, but I can't seem to find an answer for a specific issue in the Houdini help. I am pulling in values with the Table import geometry node. When I update the spreadsheet I have to go into the node and tick and untick the max rows dialogue to update the geometry.

It's not a major issue at all and works fine this way, but I am figuring that there is probably a correct and more efficient way to reload python nodes.


Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.

I have the same issue. Though, in my case, toggling the max rows is not a feasible workaround. I need my data to be up to date. Is there any plan to fix this node, so that it becomes dirty when the file is modified?

The table import node has other issues as well:

1. It doesn't reload data that was modified on disk (as discussed earlier).
2. It fails to parse some files, treating the whole row as one large string, even though it contains commas. It even fails to parse output generated from TOPs csv output!
3. No unicode support (possibly cause of 2 above).
4. There is no option to skip the header line, so that has to be blasted using a separate node.

This node urgently needs an update to be useful!
