Recently I have found myself wasting a lot of time relinking many files to new versions, and initially, I was planning on using an expression to link all the version numbers in my scripts read nodes to a single node I could change the value of, but then I realised that it should be possible to do with some python. and after some troubleshooting due to my initial way of implementing Python, I finally ended up with this tool which already is speeding everything up.
If you would like to use this tool or try it and give feedback feel free to download it here
How Does the Tool Work?
JG_VersionSelect takes the file path of your renders where the versions are separated and looks for all folders with some variation of v00... v1.0, v1-0 if not following one of these ways may not work, it will then populate a dropdown selection where you can choose the version number, and then with a simple press of a button, it will find all read nodes in the script that share the same file path as provided earlier and replace the version number. this can speed things up especially when you have many read nodes that need updating when you get some new file versions
