Improvement of Node

[zwep]

Hi,

I would like to be able to call lthe ReadPhillips Node with a string (file path) as input, in addition to the file browser.
Can this be made possible? Or is there a way for me to extend this Node somehow?
I can imagine that by inherriting the class, adding via another __init__ statement an additional input port, and overwriting the file name that is gained by the file browser, I should be able to fix this.

If you right click on the file browser widget in the node menu you can create a "widget port" for the node. From there you can feed a string into the node for the file path. Is this what you mean?

Hi, yeah I think that is it.. Im quite new to this GPI framework, so Im not fully knowledgeable on what is possible.
Thanks for the replies btw!
