Load Settings

Load Settings points the document at a folder of saved settings files, one per component. Every Lugworm component can save its current inputs with “Save settings…” on its right-click menu, which writes a small JSON file next to the ones this component reads. From then on, the “⇤ inputs” button on any Lugworm component builds its sliders, toggles, panels and value lists from the matching file instead of the built-in defaults, and falls back to the defaults where the folder has nothing to say. This makes it easy to keep one settings folder per material or per machine and switch between them.

Panel: 1 Slice. Nickname: Settings. Compute button: no (runs on every change).
