Hey rexrainbow!

I have seen your plugin before and took the time to make this one for a specific reason. It doesn't require any setup/nicknaming. So you can just add the plugin to the project and create anything right away

It also allows you to get effect params / if an effect is enabled on an object.

If you have any questions etc please let me know!

JhomasJhomas have you tested your plugin with the exported project? Objects names are lost after exporting.
