How is it possible to add a file path input node to your dynamo script? (something like highlighted button in the image below)

If you’re using Dynamo Player you just need to select the File Path node and right-click to set it as an input. Another option is to use Data-Shapes to prompt for a file path.

@Nick_Boyts, you are saying as long as the node allows you to right-click and set node “is input” - these inputs are accessible via the Dynamo Player. That is super useful, and thanks again @Nick_Boyts
