3:51 Is this part adding to the end of this statement like a string?

fit01(rand(detail("../begin_metadata1", "iteration", 0)), 0, <---

I missed the brackets on the end of pressButton becasuse the video zooms out before you can see it ;)
Would be nice to not have to clear the nodes if you accidentally press the import button twice or more (it keeps generating them).

Really nice series, thank you! What if I wanted to export different types of geometry but apply some changes to them first. For example a cube, a sphere and a torus get automatically imported and then for example transformed. Now I want to export them with the applied changes but keep the name they had when I imported them. How would you go about that?

thanks for this series. Is it possible to fill menu items "values" with values stored on a json file ?

Thanks for this tutorial, it makes my day!:) one question... is it possible to transfer imported object name to file output?...imagine i have 10 objects with different names(ex. "box_v01_bla_01.obj, ...."), i do switch between them, and lets say in every frame another object shows up...and i render every frame keeping output same as file input
Thanks in advance:)
