Dear @AndyPayne can we please get an Export component which can handle all possible formats like in the normal Rhino export command?

Export Mesh as STL-File

This will be included in v9. The import and export components will have an additional input to specify all the options are on the dialogs that Rhino shows when you run it from UI. May be a good idea implement the casting from string as a way to reference the local scheme name. But if you want a .gh file do the same in all computers the user should be able to set this values independently on Grasshopper.

Ok, so this export component sort of works now. One thing that could be improved is that when a folder does not exist yet, the export operation creates it. Currently the component goes red when the target folder does not exist.
