Such a useful script! :) Thanks!

Great script. thank you!
It would have been amazing if RS would make it so it can also go back to original connection by clicking shortcut again

Hey man, such an awesome idea! Thing is I have question regarding compatibility. Is it possible to use the scripts with Houdini for Mac OS? If not is there a version planned for this? You would be really a live saver with this. Thanks

Hey Falk, I think this script should support Mac version of Houdini already? I don't use Houdini on a mac though. What's the problem there?

[@martinmenso6671]

I can set it in my project but how to set it so whenever I open a new project, this tool is ready to go? Thanks and amazing!!

[@lewisorton713]

Have u put it to the desired folder and created a custom command on the shelf? If so it should work in all Houdini sessions. But in rare cases it can conflict with your local setup if the working environment is configured by your IT manager in charge of the studio's pipeline.

hello, for some reason when I press my hotkey Houdini says "No module named 'shaderoutput'. How do I fix this?

[@lewisorton713]
