GSoC 2024: Geometry Nodes: File Import Nodes

Week 3

This week was pretty hectic, tried my best to wrap my head around RNA still feel like a ways to go. anyway I raised a PR which adds a file selector to the Import STL node.

As a side effect PROP_FILEPATH can be added as a socket subtype to any string socket which means any string socket can be changed to file selector easily with a single line of code, this could be helpful at other places.

Getting file selector out of the way early makes it easy to integrate it into the upcoming import nodes.

As always these changes will be available behind the experimental feature flag “New File Import Nodes”, looking for feedback.
