For error messages, import_params.reports should probably be used. That will fill the ReportList with potential errors. The items in that ReportList will need to be translated to geometry nodes error messages.

Since import nodes won't just create curves, they may not fit well in the "Mesh" menu. How about Input/Import/?

Isn't nodes under Input all red color nodes? now that I think about it the Import nodes could also be a red color node. not sure how to make it red tough. I am taking a look at node_fn_input_bool.cc

Yeah that could make sense. The red color is done with NODE_CLASS_INPUT.

Also, I'd call the menu NODE_MT_category_IMPORT, without "MESH" for the same reason.

Usually we don't add warnings for empty inputs, since they often occur in expected situations. When the path is empty, the user would just expect the node to not import anything.

Will mention here the thing i wrote in dock for proposal:

This is not clear how this path is related with blender instance, project file and PC of user. Does this path is relative or global?
If node tree with this node will become to asset, how path to this file will be handled? Does this means that result of node tree, modifier and asset will be different on different blender run? Might looks like violation in rule about stability, not sure.
Platform depend separators / and \ + root name C:\ and even custom extensions (if user want to open stl file with name f.geg) can not be handled in geometry nodes (and i do not like idea of added path processing nodes at least without discussion).

Before solution for all of this points will be here, i think it is better to have the generally accepted file selector property.

Yeah that’s the plant to change this to a file selector. String input for now is just for testing. I need to look at some existing nodes to see how a file selector input is setup

Just as example you can take a look at Outout File node in compositor.

The idea is that the file path can be a "subtype" of the string socket type, just like "Percentage" is for float sockets. That would affect how the socket value is displayed in the UI.

This also might requers propagation of this fact on connected sockets (and we do not do the same thing for attribute names currently...) and have tooltips/errors/other tips related with path validation/check about file/... . But before solving of this, this can be just property\

~~error_message_add takes string by reference. You need to pass or static string or use some long life allocator\ (idk if message is ovned by report or no)~~
Nevermind, string will be copy by function itself\

Plus, in case STL_import_mesh can return mesh even if there is error report (idk), should this mesh still be used?

LGTM. Obviously needs some more work before it can be moved out of experimental (caching, path, options?), but that can be done in main too.
